As always, with Ugg brand, they are made very well and I expect them to last a very long time. They are perfect! Also, there is a stain on one of the slippers. I love having them and am spoiled already. My second test with an HDR-CX900:I set up the camera outdoor on a tripod on a breezy evening recording just the sounds of nature and ambiance, alternating between the internal microphone and this external x/y mic, and here are my observations:* When using the built-in microphone, the automatic wind noise reduction is enabled by default on this camera and works pretty well. I would guess many men, especially men who wear sandals, would have the same problem. I want to mention that the instep is high, and there is ample room. This is what happens when you have a monopoly on wireless gaming products. theyre like magic! Im giving it 5 starts but there are a few nit picky things that could be better.
