I had to cut at least a 1/4 inch (probably more like 3/8 inch) off the toe of the Superfeet footbed to get it to lie flat in this new Voyageur. No noise noted at speed in the imprezza. The price increased and the price before was a little high for what you get. The old ones began to flake, so it was a matter of buying new headphones or replacing the pads. The synthetic shearing lining compresses after a few days when you break them in and they fit like a foot glove! They fit comfortably and dont fall out, even while in bed. Glam on a budget! Easy on/off too. With these Im hearing instruments that I hadnt heard before! My boys love these and are very happy with them.
