Originally purchased these to lounge around at home, but realized they are very comfortable and definitely durable enough for wearing outdoors as well. Ill still make most use of the door anchor, but I dont regret the purchase of the base. Good for kicking around the house. Another thing to note is that these headphones as noted in other reviews do distort at higher volumes changing the sound significantly. I also wear them with bare feet, no problems. Im happy with this purchase and they are well worth the price. I could have gone a size down, but the dress was already too short for me (hard to tell from the photos but hit mid shin), so that would have made it even shorter. While I am giving this rack only 3 stars, I would pay twice what a home garment rack would cost to use it. But since Shure is gone, I hoped it would service until I could afford something decent. it has not disappointed me and I hope to purchase matching keyboard and mouse soon.
