Broke after less than 24 hours - OTTO Engineering NoizeBarrier Micro

When I got them I used them right away. I was truly impressed by how well they worked. I charged them over night. The next morning I powered them on and one would not activate. Put them back in the dock and only one gets recognized, and it's 90 percent battery. Tried MANY times to turn them on. Tapping the dead one on the counter a few times got it to be recognized on the dock, but it would just show dashes and not any charge level. Still won't turn on. Was not able to get it recognized again. Called the manufacturer and they were very helpful saying I can send them back right away. About a 30 day lead time for a replacement. Tempted to just return them to Optics and get a new one, or hunt for a different make. Too bad, they really seemed like a nice product and it's hard to find GOOD buds for hunting that have good directional sound. Another thing is that the foam tips work well but the little rubber tube broke loose when I was rolling them for insertion. Honestly the earbud seems very fragile when rolling the foam. Seems not difficult to snap off the stem.
