EXCELENTE CALIDAD Y PRECIO.

Tengo poco con ellas. Suenan muy bien. No son tóxicas, pregunté a MARTIN directamente y me respondieron que solo usan materiales que no tienen riesgos para la salud, lo hice porque leí un comentario de alguien preocupado porque deja manchados los dedos, lo cual a mi no me ha pasado. Lo único que no puedo precisar es cuanto duran en realidad, pues tengo poco con ellas. Estoy convencido de que fue una buena compra.
