Update: We received the second pair of earphones today. Its a good hard shell carry case, but the zipper design is just bad. These are my first pair of clogs, and I think theyre wonderful for the price! I bought these thinking I could wear them during this COVID time since it is something washable and supportive and I really would only need them to last a couple months. but I can live with that my foot covers it up. Another reviewer mentioned it, I thought they were just picky, but even with no show socks on - I get some irritation. Returned them once within a month of ownership with no issues because they come with a year warranty. Battery life at near full volume goes quick but its to be expected. I got this for my bathroom and it?s great! The traction is good so far (I have owned them for about 2 weeks).
