These are comfy, look nice and still look new after 5 times in the washing machine. That screw could scratch the paint a little, but is just a weight cage, so Im not worried about it. I will have to give credit to Yakima for developing a locking system that can be used on pretty much any of their accessories. I wear glasses, hats and dont like earbuds, so my options for headphones are pretty slim. I have used a B&O BeoPlay 9i Bluetooth headphones, but the wired headphones are better. Even just walking around my house for a few minutes, I could see my foot turning red and getting painful. I prefer these over other sandals because they don?t smell over time, especially when you come out of the shower and they get wet. Weren?t at time I ordered but even so would buy again! If you are looking for good working head sets at a cheaper price these are for you. Someone else in the reviews said something about the talk function not the best and I have to agree.
