The wall plug comes out sideways so no need to worry if you have a couch against it. These seem OK except they still may have a little play in them which concerns me . :(Ive worn these four times since receiving them, regular wear (no theme park visits, for example), and now pieces of the sole of each shoe have come unglued from the bottom. These are perfect! I got these speakers for my upcoming camping trip. Lots of great patterns. Its a good purchase. For the price they seem to do fairly well. The shoes appear to be well made and the mesh material was nice. I am considering buying another one for work.
