Just prepare for a couple hours if doing it alone. Great pair of sandals. I suppose you could hear the same with the Grados if eq?d as well. Free return was very easy. Also the noise cancelling means they dont need to get loud. The shelves are convenient and provide storage room. Its taken me six months. I should mention that I often listen to music with less bass. I find that I can handle epilating my armpits and part of my legs, but the pain is literally unbearable if I try anything near the bikini line or if I do it on my legs for too long without a break. I got the wrong size .
