Since my wife did not want to drill through the tiles I have to use a tension shower rod and we all know they do not like to stay up. These pillows are amazing! Why would you do that? I guess to ease manufacturing. Overall I wouldnt buy or recommend this product. If you use a ModMic, or a headset mic with a powered capsule, buy one of these. Perfect for quick tuneups while out at the parking lot. 45"AT4040 = . Based on that experience and the cost effectiveness I decided to try this style. I didnt realize this thing lit up too, I dont need all the lights but its neat. Click along and find something else.
