The outside sound cancellation was quite good. Not really what I wanted because I was looking for a low profile stopper. Moved and lost my charger to my Beats Solo 3 and this charger was a perfect solution. I ended up having to bend them quite a bit to use them and they look misshaped now and might not hold once there is stuff in the stockings since they?re so misshapen but I didn?t have time to order new ones before Christmas so they?ll have to do. The fur lining is soft and silky. The Velcro fastening which holds both adhesive sides together is VERY strong, and makes an audible meshing noise when fastened. So if you wear a half size, and you like your toes to have wiggle room order a half size up. Easy removal from carrier by lifting buckle so feeder cable slides through. the headphones are mostly plastic with a matte black finish like your use to from razer but with a nice aluminum band around the head band. Whether it will loosen over time and give me a similar result remains to be seen but Im guessing not since I havent seen anybody complain about that in any forums with the Roccat wheel.
