Pretty stable as is. He seems satisfied with his as well. Not as pictured! The box came very smashed. The buttons are easy to feel and press. I got this rug to go in front of our back door, so when our puppy gets his feet all wet and muddy, he can get them mostly wiped off on his way in the door. I will definitely be getting another pair. Very effective and are good sound quality, but if u leave them in they hurt after like 5-10 minutes. Lets be realistic here, Almost every HOTAS brand on the market is overpriced for what u get but we Stick Jockie s have little choice over pricing and quality, In the end its about what you can afford and a little luck to boot! No issues setting up and they fit in my ear very well!
