The ears worked fine at first and the motion was nice. After about two weeks the left ear stopped moving completely. I charged it fully and it was still dead. I emailed support and never got a reply. The fur is soft and the band is comfortable but none of that matters if the thing does not move. Disappointed.

The details
Everything About This Piece
This moving cat ears headband is our smallest pair, about 8 cm tall, so they look like natural ears on camera. Tilt your head and they twitch along with you, giving a neko or catgirl character small, believable reactions.
- Moves with a head tilt. No app and no remote. Tilt your head and the ears answer at the speed you set.
- Small and neat. About 8 cm (3.1 in) on the outer edge, so they sit snugly on your hair or wig.
- Slim wire band. It sits low and close to the hair, which helps the ears look like they grow there.
- Covers that come off. The faux-fur covers slip off the mechanism for brushing and storage.
- USB-C charging. Top up with the same kind of cable most phones use.
How the Moving Cat Ears Headband Works
The motion is built into the band. Charge it over USB-C, switch it on and choose a speed: a slow twitch for photos or something livelier for video. Then wear it like any cat ears headband. Each tilt of your head becomes a small reaction that your camera, or the friend across the table, will catch.
Pick Your Color
Choose the shade closest to your hair or wig. Black and Light Camel blend into dark and warm tones for an everyday character look. White and Pink suit pastel, idol and fantasy styling. To finish the character, add the Electric Moving Tail in White with White or Pink ears, or a posable cat tail in Black, Beige or Brown. Buy either tail with these ears and the tail is 15% off at checkout.
Made For
Neko and catgirl cosplay, cafe days in costume, and streams or short videos where a small reaction says more than a big one. Want ears people spot from across a convention hall? Our long-ear pair stands about 14 cm tall.
In the Box
- One moving cat ears headband in the color you choose
Small ears do their best work when they sit right. Here is how to set up the moving cat ears headband so every tilt reads clearly, on you and on camera.
Set Up in Four Steps
- Charge overnight. Top up the band over USB-C the night before you wear it.
- Choose a speed. Switch on and set the speed before the band goes on. Slow suits stills; quicker suits video.
- Seat it low. Slide the slim band over your hair or wig and settle the ears where a cat's ears would sit, a little back from your hairline.
- Tilt and practice. Tilt your head and watch the ears respond. A few minutes at the mirror and the reactions start to feel like your character's.
Where They Fit In
Cafe Days and Meetups
A small pair suits low-key costume days. Pick the color closest to your hair and the ears blend right in.
Streams and Short Video
Small ears frame your face without crowding it. A quick tilt makes an easy reaction; pause the motion between takes if your mic is close.
Conventions
Charge fully, wear the band with your whole costume once before the day, and keep the USB-C cable in your bag.
Styling Tips
- Match the ear color to your hair, or let White or Pink pop against a darker wig.
- Add the Electric Moving Tail in White for a matching moving tail. It is 15% off when you buy it with ears.
- Keep hair clips away from the ear base so nothing catches while the ears move.

Care and Storage
Slip the faux-fur covers off the mechanism and brush them gently with a soft brush. Keep the band and its USB-C port dry and away from heat, and charge with a suitable USB-C charger. Store the headband in a box so the ears keep their shape.

Fit with Wigs, Glasses and Hats
- Wigs. The band sits close to the hair, so most wigs work. A very full or high-styled wig can lift it, so try the exact wig you will wear.
- Glasses. Glasses arms usually pass under the band. Check yours before a long shoot.
- Hoods and hats. At about 8 cm, these add the least height of our moving ears. Still try your hood or hat with them on.

Questions
Questions, Answered
Planning a specific look or wig? Tell us about it and we'll help you check the fit before you order.
Ask Us a QuestionHow Do These Moving Cat Ears Work?
They move when you tilt your head. The motion is built into the headband, and a speed setting lets you choose a calm twitch or livelier movement.
Do I Need an App or a Remote?
No. Switch the headband on, set the speed and tilt your head. There is nothing to pair or download.
How Do I Charge the Moving Cat Ears Headband?
Over USB-C. Charge it the night before you wear it so you start the day full.
Can I Wear Moving Cat Ears Over a Wig or with Glasses?
Usually, yes. The slim wire band sits close to the hair, and glasses arms normally pass under it. A very full wig can lift the band, so try your exact wig at home first. Our wig and glasses fit guide has more tips.
Can I Take the Fur Covers Off to Brush Them?
Yes. The faux-fur covers come off the mechanism, which makes brushing and storing them easier.
How Big Are These Ears Compared with Your Other Moving Ears?
These are our smallest, about 8 cm (3.1 in) on the outer edge. The long moving cat ears, moving fox ears and moving wolf ears are all about 14 cm tall.
Can You Hear the Motor?
Like any motorized ears, they make a motor sound while they move. If you are recording close to a microphone, switch the motion off between takes.
When Will My Order Arrive?
Orders are packed in 1 to 2 business days. After dispatch, delivery usually takes 2 to 7 business days to the US, Canada and Mexico, 3 to 7 to the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, 3 to 8 to Asia and the Middle East, and 5 to 10 to other regions.
