I have to duct tape my heel (beneath my socks) just to wear these. Personally Id rather have a screw sticking out a little bit as a bit of an eyesore than broken, weakened wood. I also had difficulty with shipment and the company was not helpful The price was okay. Assembly is a snap- figuratively and literally so no tools required. but it was affordable. It works, I put it on and played a song and had my kids try and talk to me and I couldnt even hear them (so next time they annoy me Im putting these on and Im gonna act like I cant see them also lol ??) It works well with Xbox One. I got these Edifier headphones for my son. I got these today, just in time for a two hour Zoom conference call. ugh wish I had this instead.
