Am returning this article because it is too small; vey inconvenient having to return via UPS services whoseservice department is a 30 minute drive from my home; same inconvenience when having to return articles via Intel delivery services; must you contract out your deliveries ? Hope my video and photos were useful. I first ordered a 1/2 size smaller --but they were too small so sent back and ordered my normal size. not loudly though. The ear pads are a nicer level of vinyl, and I do not think are upgradable (I haven?t tried to peal them off). If they are comfortable and hold up I will order a burgundy pair. Hands-down the best headphones I?ve ever used for gaming. Wasn?t the product in the picture Bought this based off some reviews. After ironing it flows a lot prettier.
