Comfortable (medium soft) and very well-made. I really needed this because I switched to Apple and the phone I got doesn?t come with a charger. They are very hard, tight, and uncomfortable. No sticking with this, though. We ordered 3 of these (And they aren?t cheap) & they all are all evenly, 1 foot too short from edge to edge! At first I didnt understand why it was made that way but after using it for many hours and days I realized why. Im a social worker and basically on the road and encounter different types of homes and obstacles daily and Ive been wearing them. It can block some fan/AC noise. I will say they are physically quite large though - probably not really ideal for young kids. Thicker and more comfy compared to my tevas from years past.
