Ive worn these now for about 10 days and have raised them to 5 stars, the leather is loosening up, and there are no more black streaks on my tile. You essentially have to pick up the whole thing to get a qtip. Dress fits perfect! Let?s take a closer look at the best all around headphone, in my opinion, in the V-MODA stable. I will run it on battery power on Saturday. The applications can be endless. Seems fairly durable to me. I am returning for a size 6 (which may be too small) but maybe it will provide the "hug" to my feet that is needed. We look forward to using this well-constructed rack for years to come & we can strongly recommend it. Thats the only thing I would change about these, the heel is super high which is fine for me cause Im always in heels but if youre just starting off then maybe you should re-consider, although the thicker heel also helps.
