I was tired of cords. I looked at every one available on Amazon and EBay. Only got a bit challenging to turn them in the last couple of turns as it became flush with the wall, but all are snug and sturdy! Also, in the second season the trade ministers character and his relationship with Julianna was quite interesting. This slipper is so comfy and warm. Edit: The weight is actually distributed with the top strap which anchors to the top part of the back, so this part does serve a purpose. Pros:- Surprisingly good battery life (for both the earbuds and charging case). Highly recommend these! Salsa on 2 ! They are easy to install, are very bright and look great.
