Ridiculous. I read the reviews and was concerned about this being sturdy. Ill keep these for that purpose, but continue my hunt for critical listening earbuds. This is a fantastic product for someone that doesnt want to spend a lot to store their shoes. We needed to by price conscience within reason, and seemed to be limited to a few brands. She loves Minnie Mouse and these were perfect for her and comfortable enough for her to run in. Great Also for Crafting, Dusting, etc. I looked at like 3 dozen heated towel warmers before selecting this one. If you want it is a gaming headset for Discord, Ventrillo or Teamspeak to stay in contact for raids, guilds, etc. I have been a fan of this brand for the last decade buying a new pair of slippers annually (i wear them daily and they have always held up) and gave these out as gifts.
