Field logRaveHacks Notes

Sound, protection, and conversation clarity were strong, but handling was the catch. The small clear plugs would be incredibly easy to lose after a drop, and removal was difficult enough that they became stuck in our ears—we needed help from someone with long nails to get them out. That experience pulled down fit, ease of use, comfort, and the all-day verdict.
