The latter will use breathable fabrics for the cups, but they will be magnetically-attached so popping them off and placing new ones in will be pretty swift.

The headphones will assistance Active Sounds Cancellation. They will be reversible, that is the headphones will immediately figure out which cup is on the left and which on the right.
