Overall, these are sturdy and are doing the job as expected. Tried other house slippers. This is the best flat iron Ive bought, i did not need to pass through the hair many times, only ran through twice and hair was left straight and shiny, its also curls effortlessly. The flip flops run small so they had to be returned. Even the earphones are great - sound is super clear even if I keep my laptop volume below 40. Overall was a great fit. Quality of build is better than I had hoped. They came in 2 plastic bags, no box! No crackle or distortion in sound. I decided to buy it and it was exactly what I was looking for and better than I expected.
