I just cant see how something so soft lasting but we shall see. My backpack rubs on the back of them, and all of my other sweaters are fine, as well as the navy one and the green one, but this cyan one now looks super beat up from the back. If i wanted to use the side sneaker pouch I could, but my sneakers would take up 1/4 of the bag inside. This ramp board is a nice piece. The price is very reasonable for what you get. The fact that it is tightly secured makes it a pain to get off and on. They look super cute and they look super comfy. Ive ordered a new battery and will let you know if battery life improved. These headphones are really comfortable. Comfort I give it a 4.
