The joint is fairly sturdy and I?ve had no issues with it twisting or bending too much. I decided to mount a support strap (two actually) INSIDE my trunk rather than OVER my trunk. I was skeptical at first. It was a little banged up when I got it but I wasn?t too concerned with that. Nothing that cant be taken care of in post though. Top hurts unless you?re wearing socks! Too early for a long term report but the sandals appear strong and well made. Make sure to go into as many loops of the binders as you can, and keep everything tight. It?s great for gaming SUMMARY: Good little set of headphones that are cheap enough to where I wont feel bad if I lose them or break them, but also provide enough quality/function to warrant the price paid.
