I bought these knowing that they would be tiny. And tiny they were. I have small earlobes and so does my sister, so these are perfect for the both of us (my sister has virtually no earlobe.) I spent maybe a few minutes trying to get them in initially, and I tested the clamp to ensure they actually clamped well (the blue pair I bought didn't and I had to fix them then test them again). They're shinier than the picture portrays, but otherwise they are amazing. I only docked one star because the blue pair that came with had to be modified.
