I am a nurse an need all the foot support I can get. So many wasted hours and returned products trying to emulate what this product does out of the box. They do stand up to a heavier load but I found the tubular steel is pretty skinny in diameter. These slippers are ideal, much more comfortable than the water shoes or flip-flops and are easy to clean. They are unobtrusive to others and dont scream "look at me" as other dangling white earphones do. I am not an audiophile but it does muddy the sound a bit. But, I am certain that moving any speaker magnets (and Bluetooth recievers) out of my ears and farther from my brain is a good thing. Today the apple car play froze on the connecting screen and wouldn’t go away even with the car being turned off and I couldn’t even use Bluetooth because it said the usb was connected which it wasn’t. I purchased these headphones based on the picture and description which DESCRIBED the same product of Inkd mic-less headphones Ive purchased in the past (which are now discontinued by Skullcandy) from actual local stores. I prefer forearm as its in the prefect place to rotate and snap pictures without taking it off my arm, rotate back and carry on running.
