The earpads feels great. I will continue to purchase Fit Flops ~ the ONLY brand of shoes I wear all year long! Sound quality is good, comfort is good, and they are great for working out. Pics dont do any justice to it. Also I wore my Amazon compression knee highs which is a nth thicker than a stocking. I didnt have to wait to use, I hung the hat immediately after and now I have a lovely wall of all my favorites! I purchased a sample pack of their other products to try out and look forward to those (shampoo, cond. One thing I have noticed as missing from these releases is the occassional background voice-over (painfully evident) that was used for side conversations. Was also able to fit my shoes nicely in the shoe compartment in the back. Thanks again.
