I have high maintenance hooves, and am extremely careful that my footwear is comfortable, and easy to walk in. Why pay more than you need to to get this quality of sound ? You will be glad you made the investment, no matter what kind of stereo you own. Please note, however, that it does not come with foot slides and the metal feet are a bit too sharp for hardwood floors. There are also a nice small traveling case, matching shirt clip and a little instruction. Super cute look, slightly similar to Oran sandals but a little more intricate. Sure enough, 1 of the 2 boom sticks was "weak" and couldnt be kept in place with any amount of knob twisting gymnastics. I would highly recommend, just be sure to accommodate for the sizing discrepancy. I took the risk and ordered my normal size (a UK womens 7) and sure enough the correct size came (a US mens 7 / womens 9). Bought these specifically for the MP3 capability in the water. They feel a bit loose in the mornings but after being on my feet all day they accommodate the swelling.
