In my opinion, wider but flatter headphone case is much better than smaller but bulkier. I had a similar kitchen towel rack that lasted me for the last 15 years but the branches got loose with time and drooped so the towels kept sliding off. I could definitely see a potential issue with teens or men that may have a much leaner build. This product met or exceeded all of my expectations and at a very fair price. I also suspect that grills are too dense, with less than 40% opening, that also affect sound. Each shelve can hold 180lbs and the height on the shelves is adjustable by moving the little shelf holding pieces around. All in all they are a great gaming headset for the money. Some massaging brings them back to round, but it takes a while. Cosy warm, so I dont keep kicking them off cos my feet are too hot. These are very authentic and gorgeous.
