design flawed goods, but very expensive faulty goods! But barefoot is irritating/ painful at times. I recommend this ??% you will have no regrets, thats if you can get it because it is very scarce. not the best quality fabric, very thin and cheaply made in my opinion. no, I wouldnt use them for that. I am not brutal on my workout equipment but nor am I overly gentle. Monoprice needs to fix this problem. Does it protect 100%? No, as long as you temper your expectations realistically youll be pleased with these. Muy buen producto cumple totalmente con mis expectativas The moment the headset came to the home I was in love with it.
