I guess Ill cut it to fit but then I feel it will just fray. Third. I sent these back. When she first slipped them on, she loved how comfy they felt. Another frustrating thing is call quality. Its been impressive to see the products evolve over the years in their ergonomics, materials, and quality. Inspected all remaining parts , all very nice. I?ve been having these headphones for a month now and they are still working like a champ ! These were super easy to install and super comfortable. Worth the money because its just a great movie.
