In practice, this has not been my experience. I?m so happy to have somewhat of a positive outlook on my hair situation. The cushion so far has lasted a few months. Resistance bands are great for maintaining health and fitness during lock down when you have restricted space to work out and to store equipment. The bars are made of aluminum and its rated for 165 lbs so I dont think Ill have any problem carry anything if needed to. Also, I have never used a high-end and much more expensive ANC headphone (reason is that most of them are not bluetooth which is what I need). Definitely recommend this crocs. My daughter loves them! I used my belt sander to take the hard edge off and bevel it about 45 degrees. Out of all 3 AirPods cases Ive brought on Amazon the last year, this is by far the best even though it was more expensive compare to the others.
