They still seem to pick up background noise, but Ive had far worse experiences. Honestly you can feel the difference once you boot your machine after installing this extra RAM. havent had a problem with any of my haviananas. Holds shoes neatly, and looks good. weird) Great slippers, comfortable, supportive on the arch. Totalmente recomendable Probably wont buy again bcz there are many other shoes out there that may be better made. Folks looking for a nice recovery sandal and dont need a huge amount of support may be a home here, but I ultimately couldnt choose these for my needs. I could see silicone sliding off the earbud with a little moisture.
