We traveled from Michigan to Florida with this on top of our car with our luggage in it. Saves a ton of space in the cabinet which is a plus also its good quality & seems very sturdy. It has great resistance for squats and deadlifts. love the many other Sketchers that are true to size! My 9 yr old niece maybe able to wear these. They are also very comfortable for my ears. Doesnt help I have Bigfoot feet (US Male Size 14). I accidentally dropped it from 1,5 meters to the hardwood floor. You could definitely get a cheaper headset, but these are far and away noticeably better in sound quality - and Ive found them better than some of the more expensive ones. Whilst I note that they are manufactured in Taiwan, the design has a European style so I assume they are designed somewhere in Europe.
