Overall it?s a well designed footwear, I?m getting a second pair actually. I did send this straight to Yes4All but did not receive any response, so I will just post on Amazon as people are looking to purchase. The hooks that hold it on the door slip off often and do not allow for my door to close. However, to get this working properly you MUST have the mix amp plugged into your PC with both a USB and Optical connection as it treats voice and game as 2 separate inputs. I went ahead and ?pulled the trigger? and received them yesterday. My last pair of Keen sandals didnt have the same type of lace and held up fine for over a year. When I got my 2nd pair, they had the label sewn into the inside heel part, which bothered me a great deal. I?ve found the carabiner clip makes it so convenient to attach the case to my key ring when I go work out at the gym, and I don?t have to worry about losing it. Much more feature filledAreas where the E8 sports are better:-sound quality. That is my absolute standard when it comes to fit and feel.
