It?s not exaggerated big and the earrings are perfect size. Its just cheap vinyl wrapped around a wire frame. Hope next will live more than 3 months. I still highly recommend this headset and I definitely think that the price is justifiable for what you get in the long run. Im also torn about the foam sole (no, EVA is not rubber, its foam)- although its lighter weight, Im afraid it wont have the same traction of other slippers. If you want them to snuggle your feet I would recommend you ordering 1/2 a size smaller. UPDATE:After extremely receptive customer service rep my second pair was replaced with a pair updated and tested and no longer experience the popping. I tried these with Surface Pro 7, iPhone 12 and MacBook Pro but nothing worked for me to get rid of the crackling/distorting sound/noise issue. The downside (as other reviewers state) is that the top may tend to fall off. The unit is only 60 watts which is great if you do not want any accidental burns, the downside is the towels after 20 minutes sort of feel warm sort of.
