this printer is quite compact. I always go for the thicker straps- not a big fan of the ladies styles with thin straps that dont feel as secure on my feet. was just right. I purchased this product as a headphone amp with additional mic controls. Overall just an amazing feeling and wearing set of headphones. Still comfortable on the ears though I did puncture one of the pads with a rough sharp fingernail a week ago. The front wheels were pre-rinsed with clean water, and the rear wheels were dry. bought this baby! Nice color I noticed it, but thought maybe I was just seeing things.
