I have had these for a few months and as the threading wears on the bottom they become less and less slip resistant. Ive tested them extensively on PUBG, Fortnite, and Overwatch. I’m using this arm stand with an AT2020 mic and the shock mount is a nice tight fit that will ensure there are no vibrations when recording. My guitars dont get dents when I accidently bump them into a wall anymore. Bearpaw costs about a third of the Uggs, so for me, Bearpaw is the obvious choice. It was a little tricky to install as I went side to side more times than I want to count as I tried to perfectly align the bars on my roof rails. The one feature that exists on both the Thule and this rack is the hinge pin near the bottom that lets you rotate your bikes away from the vehicle to open a hatch door. A bit wobbly to put on. -Worked straight out of the box and has an 18month warranty sticker included to register-Sound quality is great - I like quite bass heavy music (RnB, Dancehall, House) as well as classical and some rock so I tested a wide variety of music genres and also films and I am impressed with the quality in comparison to bigger brands used, the bass is just right and all sounds seem crisp and clear and the volume is more than sufficient unless you really want to wreck your eardrums! My only complaint is that they werent as long on me as they looked on the model, and they were a bit tighter than the normal 3x/5x I buy from leggings depot.
