My comments about the sound remain favorable, but I have dropped my rating due to this build quality issue. I dont feel the shoes are slipping i guess i am just so used to having to tighten them up to get them snug i keep looking for that set of holes. These are going in the trash not toGoodwill! Hopefully it will fit. This has made my front hall much cleaner with shoes and slippers off the floor and it holds a nice amount of heavy coats for New England weather Holds boots, tennis shoes, dress shoes, and flip flops (if youre creative). Over the years, Ive owned multiple pairs of the top Klipsch, Bose & Sony headphones/earphones, mid-grade earphones from Sennheiser & RHA and I also have hi-end Plantronics/Jabra bluetooth earpieces - and backup ones from Anker. The cord should not be coming apart like this after only three months of use. Easy to adjust volume while wearing. Cons: These people will email you daily to ask for a good review.
