I have gone through 3 protectors in a 2 month period, and the same thing happens each time. Id rather have some soft Reef sandals for everyday lounging. I would say this rack is perfect for moderate strength training. It fits really well, nice and snug. It fits from 3-4 pairs depending on the size of the shoes. Until the memory foam starts to do its job and compress over time, i might compress them overnight with something lightweight on top of the headphones. Pairing: if you have iOS, nothing compares to the ease with pairing with AirPods. However, they run wide but not long. The shaft broke completely while it was in my trainer. It was not worth ordering on Amazon.
