Bought these for my 22 month old and they are perfect. It almost never cuts out, even at high congestion zones. Now these are not expensive shoes and I power walk almost every day about five to six miles but in three months they should still be in good shape. I also wiped down the walls with alcohol per the instructions. What kind of amateur bull is that? And after so many people complaining about the shoes not fitting, youd think they would figure out that whoever typed up their own size chart screwed it up, EPICALLY. I live in a small duplex with very small closets and nowhere to hang coats. I worked extra hard to scrub it in there with fingers and the comb, and worked extra hard at washing it out. I did a lot of research on headsets prior to purchasing Leitners LH280 and its worth every penny. ) The earplug style really does wonders at cutting out environmental noise and even makes the bass a bit more rich. Had this head phones for less the 1 1/2 months and the right side headphones stop working, I loved them but they stop working.
