The ear pads are incredibly soft too. I searched online and one advice was to use a baby carrot. This would be "okay" if it was all that is available. Realmente los cascos los recomiendo, que el detalle de las almohadillas no os eche para atrás! On the first attempt , the left side worked and the right side didnt. The shoes also emita strong smell of cheap glue. My son loved him and he now uses them. Took less than an hour to put together with only one person. Another thing I like is that it has bluetooth connectivity. I had to contact a local handyman to come and hang it.
