It took me about 3 weeks to break them in. It works instantly in Windows and Linux and it shows up as a generic USB microphone. My daughter likes it and uses it daily, My Go To Waist Trainer! I originally bought the wired vampire version but the file was never correct for me no matter where i downloaded it from. The only reason for a 4 star is because when my feet start to sweat, the shoes squeak. I also take serrapeptase and Wobenzym N for PF. Im hoping I just need to break them in though. The issue with taking it off is it is easy to get lost (especially with young kids). I would repurchase this again if needed.
