QinRuan Cat Fox Faux Fur Ears Headband Cute Halloween Fancy Dress Cosplay Handmade Animal Furry Ears Hair Hoop by QinRuan

Meta Note: This review only applies to the variants of the ears with the inner fuzz and exterior fold over, i.e. Zblack, which I got.

Many cat ears on the market are simple triangles, constructed of lace, oversized, hovering off the head, or otherwise insufficiently “real”. They project the idea that you are wearing cat ears, used in low effort cosplays and by those who simply want to be associated with the concept of a catperson, a parody, a simulacrum of the real thing.

These cat ears are different. When they rest on your head they become a part of you, at least in look. The inner fuzz mimics a real cat ear, or a those you’d see on a character from an anime, and they are shaped correctly, not a simple triangle or construct of lace. The proportions are correct, at least for the size of my head. They aren’t tiny, or more common, ludicrously oversized. They are adjustable on the headband, so you can position the ears at the right angle on your head. They sit in such a way that they can blend into a variety of hairstyles, covering the headband and producing an illusion of ears that protrude directly from the skull, especially when viewed from the front. And, on a personal note, the color of Zblack matches my hair fairly close.

And somehow these are only 16 dollars on amazon, instead of the 50 dollars plus you would pay for a set from a custom supplier. Truly a bargain. Even if you don’t care all that much about realism and would accept a piddly black triangle or similar, I urge you to please consider this set. They are not all that much more expensive, and the quality difference is astounding.

One note for proper wear: If you do tuck a portion of your hair over the headband (as you should), do make sure to use the least amount of hair possible. If you use too much it is possible that the headband can slide forward into the empty spot left by the hair you pulled back. This is really only a concern on the top, do whatever with the sides.

Bought 2 pairs of these on a whim. Very surprised by the quality. Love that you can easily adjust them and they’re quite comfortable. They came a bit flat out of the package but you can easily bend them to shape. Love my cute little cat ears!

Super cute ears, I bought a couple of different pairs, the only thing is that the description said they could be dyed, but the faux fur does not take well to dye at all and I ended up ruining the texture of one of the pairs I got despite following all instructions

These ears were perfect for my Silver The Hedgehog cosplay at my first furry convention! They were absolutely cute, comfortable, and didn’t come off! They hold up really well unlike other ears I’ve tried. Best part is that there was no assembly required like with some other ears! Absolutely recommend!

The ears themselves are a little smaller than I thought but it’s still made well and look cute.
