I bought a cheaper similar pair from Amazon and those didnt hurt me this much. If youre cool with the long cords for the earbuds themselves hanging down, then ( theyre a little dangly, but, i guess they have to be) you should really like them. If I cant figure it out I"ll be returning the product as it is incredibly annoying once you hear it (will drive a person crazy)UPDATE : Company contacted me after my review and sent a brand new product for free. What I dislike about the RVU- Mouse feet are too thin so the base digs into softer/thick mousepads causing gliding inconsistencies. Got a great deal through the Amazon used program but be careful. My only complaint is they run small. I loved these slippers 35+ yrs ago and love them now - they have a secure elasticized cuff that keeps them nice and snug without being tight. Worst? Nope. There is a gap around the sides and back of the shoe. Game Changer for a home gym.
