I bought these last year, used them around the house. Very thick, comfortable cloth pads around the ears, feels almost like fleece. The headphone jack broke when I stepped on it a while ago, I replaced it and then reinforced the end with a piece of rubber tubing, looks a little like fuel tubing. This takes off all the stress on that spot, which is a notorious spot for headphone breakage, they work like a charm. Cord measures just shy of 10 feet long! Looking for 14.50 shipped.
