This was a perfect solution. They are very cushiony and I can work for hours with zero back pain. I have a three compartment wire basket that two of these hold on a basement wall that has some texture. After using a some other headphones for a number of months, I plugged in the replacement headphones and the difference was very noticeable. So because amazon is awesome and I can return things easily, I ordered the Bose soundlink revolve ($200) and this JBL flip 5 ($70) i was convinced I would like the Bose more cause it was more expensive so it would sound better, right? Yes and no. I also own a Springfield Xd, I will update this post when I get a holster designed to work with a light. As far as sizing, yes you should go up about a half size. That makes 3 mats Ive ordered and have on problems with the 1st two. They have a pretty generic look and feel, especially the case. Easy load / unload and seems well made.
