The material is soft and velvety, but sure wish it hadnt smelled so bad when it arrived! *NEW EDIT AT BOTTOM (5 stars again)*So far, the headset sounds amazing, my voice sounds crystal clear to others, and the virtual surround sound is amazing once you install the amoury crate software. They told me to delete my bad review for exchanged refund $15 and so I did just that then youll never hear from this seller again! I dont know why this product gets 5-Star Ratings! OMG ! I do like the sturdy quality of the shoe. MAYBE Bc its still new , But I think it will stop eventually. Die Kopfhörer wirken hochwertig und dem Preis angemessen. Excelente diseño para ahorrar espacio y mantener los zapatos en orden. Its the first time Ive ordered him something from Amazon that hes asked for the link so he can order them again if he wants to.
