Ours are small so we take the plug and mic stiff part and push through center area of storage wheel so its not pressured or stressed. 2-3x a week and 2-3 hours each outing. I joined Discord and immediately started chatting, they could instantly tell it was a new Mic, but I didnt tell them the headset or price. Its not an athletic fit, but more so a classic hoodie fit, meaning its slightly baggier in the torso, so for a more shapely fit, may want to size down. I bought it to replace a Q-tip brand dispenser that Ive had for a very long time but had given up the ghost. If not, it is a terrible purchase. If youre looking for a sign or a green light; you guessed it! I assumed I was getting my usual stuff that I order every couple months. This is a great waist trainer and it mostly stays put. Took them out of the box, plugged into the USB port on my computer and I was able to hear and be heard on a Zoom connection.
