Rotating Washable Ear Cups

The ear cups fold flat which is convenient for laying around your neck but I liked this feature for hanging the G430 on a magnetic hook on the side of my PC. I didn’t actually wash the removable ear pads because they didn’t seem to get dirty but the concept/option is well implemented and good to see.
