The Shadow Loops have a smooth dark curve and sit closer to the ear than I expected. The N3VO box came wrapped in bubble protection inside a second carton; nothing was bent. Four stars because one closure needed a firmer press at first.

The darker finish changes the whole feel. These do not throw light across the room; they simply frame the face with a clean line. Went to sleep wearng these so had a slight pressure., otherwise good.

I ordered the Shadow Loops for myself and found them missing two days later. They look just as sharp on her. The hinge is smooth, the colour is even, and we are now negotiating shared custody.
