Sounds not amazing but it is pretty cool. I use these ones as slippers around the house. The bass response is the real failure here. Goes with me decor perfectly and I could not be happier! Son spent his own money to purchase this headset, disappointed upon opening the box, none of the cleaning accessories listed in the description were included. A wise investment for the support of my feet. Been wearing them a few months, super comfy, exactly what I was looking for! You can get a smaller length of 4 inch PVC at both bog box stores if you dont already have some or dont have a need to buy a full 10 foot stick of pipe. It has "strong backing," but is definitely not going to stay put. Cheaply made product, assembling took 2 hours by 2 adults.
