Mids are destroyed (muffed and send back to the ?second row?). We bought them for a pageant and they are her new favorite pair of shoes. I was originally shopping for a tripod to use with a line laser for interior work when I stumbled across this solution which excels for multiple reasons:1) more cost effective (~1/2 price of a good tripod),2) more useful than a tripod (floor to ceiling coverage and, though I havent used it for other yet, can be used for other tasks)3) uses less space than a tripod (esp. I wanted something that was masculine but modern looking and not over-the-top. If you buy these things to enjoy music though, you can?t go wrong. I did notice that the adjustment tabs are webbed nylon and are no longer made of sewn leather, but they still function well to adjust fit. Some apps had to be deleted before they?d quit shutting off on their own. Finally had to replace my first pair that I bought after several years and many, many miles. This is my 2nd pair and love the shoes and how comfortable they are , for some reason these ran bigger than my last pair do not sure what changed in manufacturing process if any. That leaves after about a day of wearing.
