While length is fine, they shortened length of strap by at least two inches probably to save a quarter. I am not a sound expert, but when I play certain games, I have to discern between noises "behind" me or near or far, and this headset did so beautifully. I had to order a size bigger than my previous slippers (Tamarac) in the same style. These, however, fit much wider and are a little loose. 5 in shoes, a 9 in sneakers and size 7-8 in slippers. Very cute though. The included cable is very short, but you probably have compatible extras from other gadgets available to you and if not, a longer cable can be obtained for less than five dollars. If you prefer a bigger more roomier hoodie or sweatshirt these are perfect! At least for me, the Grados fit way to deep in my ear canals. The photo below was taken after wearing the shoes approximately two dozen times.
