I, too, have a pair of Ugg slippers, and I love them. He complains about remotes so that is saying something. It mutes the microphone by not allowing a current from the microphone to the device. They are perfect for the beach. I am also using a foot massage roller and the spiked massage ball, but not as often as I should. these are beautiful, just need to learn a good knot As long as you make sure it is tight and properly installed you should get thousands of miles out of it. My little boy loves his crocs! Rap, hip hop, EDM and the like will not be satisfactory due to the lack of sub bass. Bought these for my husbands birthday he really enjoys them he just says after while being his ear makes them hurt a little it may just be him Im not sure how to try to myself but I will thanks again
