I've bought my fair share of character inspired ears and these are HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I am prone to headaches, but love to wear ears in the park, so it was important to me to find ones that are cute, but comfortable. These are the ones. Plus, supporting a small business is important to me, since I am also a small business owner. You can't go wrong with these ears and I can't wait to order more. Shhh, don't tell my husband. ;)
