True. Wash it by hand? That too much for me. nulla che non si possa aggiustare con un equalizzatore per smarphone o pc,ma comunque sono di base così. They are more comfortable with a good cushioning sole and dont look as though they will break. Sound quality is good- if you love bass! The lock and key assembly could be improved. Sturdy and elegant. The corset hit me at the top of my hips so it looked like my hips ballooned out of the bottom. Using as is, its amazing alone but I like my music & bass at ignorant levels lol worth a buy! They fit a bit tighter than expected.
