Would return it but my son keep wearing it as a slipper There is virtually no padding (some reviews said otherwise, but I am not impressed). I had high hopes for these headphones. This is marketed as "Noiseless". They are very comfortable with incredible flat uncolored sound quality unrivaled by any headphones at the same price point. Will never buy another pair of JBL headphones. After the first time they open and close just fine. Usually its not a great sign but in my particular situation I think they have gone over and beyond. You feel a little sweaty after using em for about hour or so on a hot sunny day😂 normally you wouldnt get that below average temperatures. If you squeeze it with both hands you can touch your palms.
