Are the ear cups covered in cloth or pleather (faux leather). What type of batteries are used and are they user replaceable?

The ear cups have a good quality soft silky cloth fabric, not plastic. Quite comfortable. I have not had to replace or service the batteries yet, but I did read a review somewhere when I was researching that the batteries were long-life, easily user servicable, and a size that was commonly available. Also, the owner's manual says it comes with and takes AAA size rechargeable NiMH batteries.

The ear cups are foam covered in velvet cloth. There are no batteries to replace that I can find, batteries are built in and charged through contacts on the base unit.

The ear cups are covered in a very comfortable soft cloth like foam. I'm not familiar if the batteries are replaceable or not you just set the headset back on the charger station. The charge last a very long time.

The ear cups are covered in velvet, very nice. The battery chamber pops open with your finger nail and the batteries fall out, simplest system I have ever seen. It uses AAA NMH 1.2 HRD3 rechargable or AAA 1.5 volt standard batteries. If you live in a single family home you will love these headphones right out of the box. I adjusted the light on the right to coax (included) and that's all you have to do. Plug in the coax cable to your receiver and enjoy. Of course plug in the unit.

The ear cups themselves are covered with a soft velvety material over what feels like a soft memory foam. They are especially comfy in cold weather, but don't feel hot when it is warm.

They are covered in a velvety cloth, which is preferable because it doesn't stick to your skin. The batteries are rechargeable AAA's which are replaceable.

The batteries are replaceable... but I would check with your vet before using on a dogs ears as this is made for a human ear which might be sturdier than a dogs ear as well as other issues that only your vet might know... good luck!

The battery is not replacable - at least it's not accessible in anyway that I can see. I understood when I bought it that once the rechargeable battery stops charging, it's time for a new headset. It is charged by plugging it in to any USB port. In my opinion these are great headphones for the price. Even though I'll have to replace it eventually (3-4 years??) I could buy 4+ of these for what I'd pay for other headphones. They're not noise cancelling but the sound quality is excellent.

Seem fairly sweat resistant. The earpads are a vinyl skin and the rest seems to be vinyl or PVC - or metal. Would be easy to keep clean.

The SR850 we got comes in some kind of leather/leatherette for the ear pads. The SR950 we were looking at comes in some kind of cloth-like padding (I think that's what you refer to as velour padding).

Batteries are replaceable. So far, the batteries seem to last a long time. It works to trim my beard, so I'm sure it would work for a dog's ears.

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.

No. The ear inserts are covered by foam tips. They are very comfortable. Extended use my cause irritation but you'll have to have them in the majority of the day to notice.

Yes, easily. You just twist and remove one of the earpads. Two AAA batteries--must be the rechargeable kind, though.I should add that while this wasn't a problem with mine, one of the channels going bad was. I replaced the headphones with new ones, using the base unit from the remanufactured one, and haven't had a problem since.

The battery is replaceable AA (or AAA don't remember but it comes with it) . you can buy rechargable ones but the headphone itself does not charge it.

They are rechargeable. There is a small charging plug spot under the earbud without the buttons. Works fantastic!

These are zinc-air batteries. They'll last just a bit longer if you let them "air" for a couple minutes before turning on the hearing aid so they activate in the air after removing the protective tab.

The question was whether the pads were upholstered in velour or 'pleather'... well, I'm a guy and so I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what velour is, and it is a fabric, but, no, the Headphones are done in this nice stuff that looks like leather, but doesn't stink when you get it wet... probably 'pleather'. Enjoy... those things are still going strong.

Hi Eliot! Re: Pro4AA's...they are heavier than possibly what your used to-not cheaply built at all-in fact built to last. The ear cup cushions are filled with liquid and mold to you very well and are replaceable. They are the only set of "cans" I ever used all the time I was a radio broadcaster until they were stolen, which is why I sought out a pair here. Used ones with a guarantee could be a very good buy. To me they are very well worth the money.Good listening (they have excellent tonal quality and range),Mike

They are an over the ear design. I really like them I find them very comfortable to wear even for 6 hours or so at a time.

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

Standard hearing-aid type battery available at Radio Shack. I don;t remember the exact number......
