6pm to 7pm in the house was getting unbearable; the TV was so loud as to be getting oppressive and, of course, that time frame is when we have just finished work and could do with some quite down time to switch off from work and eat dinner. The little wooden mallet that is included fell apart within five minutes of use. They were comfortable enough and the kids didnt complain. It?s upsetting because I got these in exchange for a pair of another pair of adidas. It does make a vibrating feeling and sound. (aluminium! My granddaughter loved the slipper but they were a bit too large. The only thing the tracker came with was a tiny lanyard to attach it to the keys. Great quality and stayed secure during 5 hour journey at high speeds (70-90 mph). BUT, the microphone WILL BE DEFECTIVE upon arrival, and you need to do something to solve the problem and restore the headset to functionality.
