A little stiffer than the original pads that came with my headphones and I noticed that my ears get a little warmer quicker with these on. It is replacing a Razer Blackwidow 2012 with cherry mx blue switches that finally annoyed me enough to be replaced after it drank another gin and tonic and didnt come back to life unscathed. 5 size! Unfortunately, I had to return the pants, We have tried other shoes for her as a new walker, and even Stride Rites (which was our go to brand with our son) rubbed and gave her raw spots on her ankles. They are so great for me that I am probably going to grab a couple more to keep aside for when these "die" and need to be replaced, just to be certain they arent out of stock or production. Everything was good These were bought to replace a pair of headphones that are similar in design to those made by another brand. Keep in mind I only wear them in the house. this one is miles too small for the price I thought this would be perfect
