This mound is just about right for walking around in. This on the other hand does that and is a lot more comfortable than I thought a mask could be. The crossbars have about an inch of adjustment to them. I have a Blue Snowball I was using before I got this Audio Technica 2020USB Plus - and the Snowball is not even close, no comparison at all. I have replied to them that there was know way for me to know that until after the purchase and I opened the sealed box. I was amazed at the quality for the price point. It also fits a lot of clothes! This squat pad comes along with Velcro straps unlike many others available online which means that while doing my exercises I do not have to worry about the barbell pad slipping or coming off. Item came quick and on time. If not, then allow me to go into more detail.
