It's alright, but not necessarily worth the price. I bought one of these, and a 9-pack of cheaper imitations. This one is a lot tighter. It works alright for me, but for my husband it's too small for his head. It's also longer than the imitations. The imitations are wider and shorter. I'd say they're about equal in quality, it just depends what you're looking for. If you have a big head, this might be uncomfortably tight. If you have a small head, the generics might be too loose. I like them both about equally, but for the price of one Buff, I got 9 knockoffs and can switch out the style.
