Everyone knows how expensive these headphones are so when your kid breaks a piece on them you want to just die. That nut allowed the stand to rotate freely. I read the reviews before purchasing this microphone and decided this was probably the most comparable to my requirements and equipment. however, IF they aren?t ready when it?s time for us to go in (they DO NOT stay out alone) they like to hide under the bushes and hostas. It also blew off once while walking from the pool back to my room, so be careful of the wind! Because of these issues I reduced the rating from 5 to 3. Fantastic. Perfect for my high school senior preparing to play college lacrosse next year. The cord comes out of the mix Amp along the bottom and towards you. I have been meaning to write a review for the vitamin C serum, the retinol cream, and the cream for a while now but was giving it time to work ( and also finding the time to write the review).
