I usually wear a 9/9. I accidently purchased this headset thinking it was a newer model of my SA-903 and. My items arrived dry and undisturbed at my destination. Yes it does help with the grip but I got it to make the controller a little larger. they look FABULOUS I checked and both were the listed as the same size but one seemed like it was an entire size smaller! I like the rugged look and feel. Ive spent double this amount on a waist trainer. Why does the volume fluctuate so much? Its annoying, and now I feel like Ive been ripped off. Narrow in the straps with no elastic for give.
