I bought these for my husband. They're nice quality and the right length for a man's earring (hugs the lobe closely/not too much space between the earring and the ear), but my husband thought they were a little too thick or wide for his taste. He likes his earrings less bulky. Surprisingly, I had a really hard time finding good quality men's earrings. I wish they'd make more and diversify. Overall, my husband uses them and I would order from this company again.
