I bought this pair to replace my old pair of Samsung Buds Live (my left one stopped working). These buds were received in good working condition. I will note that there is a little Crack on each bud on the casing (like there were opened, and cracked while getting opened). So far, that hasn't affected anything. The only other thing is I feel like the battery life is not as good as my other pair (the pair I replaced). with all that being said, I am satisfied with my purchase so far. Only time will tell :).
