Its not even close to okay for one song and then on the next song, its more akin to listening to someone 3 apartments down blaring their radio. Excellent product in the sense it is very sturdy wraps around well around my wrists. Yes, it too was beginning to come loose. Excellent customer service which is very rare now days. We will definitely return it if we dont have to take it apart and put it back to the original package. Theyre worth the price just for that! It holds a lot of pot tops. Outside of swimming fins, I never heard of footgear for the pool. Discomfort sets it after 45 minutes so for me there are not good for long walks. Unfortunately I didnt need to use it until two weeks AFTER the return date, which is when I learned it will not work with a Schrader valve.
