Can someone confirm what the "headband" padding is like? Some photos show almost a cloth-like stitched material, others appear to be plastic?

Never thought much about the padding until this question. I'm saying that it feels fine. It is a heavy cloth with a little padding, but feels fine. If it were softer or "fuller" I could see it compressing over time. That might not be a good thing.

It is very soft cloth. The photo that looks plastic is a render of the headset. The band is very comfortable.

It is cloth with stitch on the side facing your head the top is a rubberized plastic material. Best headset I ever bought (side note)

Inside where your head will make contact is soft stitched material. The outer or top of the band is something like pleather

The headband is a solid piece of plastic that is very flexible. I think you would have to be trying to break it in order for it to crack. There is nice padding on the side of the headband that rests on your head. Most importantly, you don't even know it's there when you're shooting other then the fact that it gives you excellent protection from the firing of guns. I have used it at the gun range surrounded by folks firing large caliber rifles and barely heard their guns when they went off. I felt the concussion of their shots rather then heard them.

Very similar to the stock earpads. Appears to be leather-like (not vinyl) material over foam padding.

Just a plastic headband and cardboard ear pieces to attach to the headband and a foam fake mic piece.. thats it

It's more of an imitation leather. It's very soft and flexible, not what one would expect from say a leather jacket. Still the best pair of headphones I've ever owned!

They are fake leather but I like it better than real leather because my ears don't get as hot and sweaty like they would if it was real leather. The pads are really good quality and you get a lifetime warranty from vmoda with all of their products.

All I can say, which is the opposite of David's response, is that I really like the headband and it has served me well. As to using it during humid and hot nights ... for me on those types of nights, everything is an issue including my bed coverings.

Faux leather padding it's comfy for certain hours like all things. Since they have bendable headband it's not comfy if one sitting on edge ear like people do with ear buds.

It feels like a synthetic polymer of some kind. It's definitely soft. It's almost the same texture feel as the ear pads

The rear half of the total length is pretty rubbery, but the rest seems to be plastic. I've wore with work helmet and didn't feel hurting. Overall, I thought these were pretty nice. Good coverage/protection of eyes.

Yes it is. You can also get it in black but the metal is flatter. The blue fabric headband is slightly curved (as it should be).

The head strap doesn't have the raised bumps anymore ! It's just a 1/8 inch flat piece of leather ! The ear pieces are the same memory foam with felt covers. I hope this info helps with your decision.

Good day,I have personally used this product while doing all sorts of exercises including bench press, and I can honestly say that I did not experience any discomfort with the headband. Have fun!

I've had mine for about a year. The outer part of the headband is pristine. The inner part and cups have a little wear, but for the most part can be wiped clean with a damp rag. (I actually dyed my hair at one point and turned the band slightly turquoise, but was able to just wipe it off and now you can't tell.) Very impressed with how well these have held up. I put them in the travel pouch when I take them to work every day.

I ordered for my son and its Polyester/spandex, he works out in the weather and loves it! It definitely will keep the wind off your face. Hope this is helpful.

It all metal headband. I use the ear piece only. It is much more comfortable to put it over my ear than over my head.
