The Astro A40 TRs ship with open earpads and earplates. I tried to hang up one on the ceiling above my sink, there is unfinished wood, I prepped it with alcohol and let it dry and applied per manufacturers instructions. Pros: color & look, good case, folds and travels well, comfy on earsCons: top of the headphones, buttons function and locationThis product can be used by pretty much anyone since it is made for everyday functions like calling, listening to music, and etc. I didnt realize that these were copies of the true characters created in China. A nice touch. Decided to upgrade my headphones after working from home for a few days due to COVID. I was a little worried that maybe it would affect my computer but with 2 months use the battery of my laptop was not damaged, charged it very fast, and the battery lasted a long time without dying. They are slight stiffer, less flexible, and a darker color than the original Sennheiser ones. Great slippers, I bought them for use in office. something cool and comfortable, zip front rather than one of the annoying wrap/tie front styles, attractive .
