I did wear peds socks but those socks didn?t go up to the elastic. I can put my hat, keys, coat, trousers, etc on this rack. Most high end buds have this these days but CA isnt charging high end prices. Bluetooth Range - 10m-12m no problem, no more and no less than my other bluetooth devices. They aren?t small. - absence de kit piéton, ce qui est pourtant une obligation dans la loi française. And yes its plugged into the outlet and multiple outlets have been tried. I had a vision for my pantry and this tiered rack did not meet the expectations. Im not sure why the difference. A total fiasco and the better part of an hour wasted.
