Moving Lion Ears

• Best suited to: lion and big-cat characters, therian and furry gear.
• Events: conventions and cosplay events, festivals and renaissance fairs, and theatre and stage shows, the occasions our customers and other wearers mention most.
• Live streaming and video: ears that move with your head show up on camera.
• A full day out: up to about 5 hours per charge, and the ears keep running from a power bank in your pocket.
• Gifts: several of our reviews come from people who bought a pair for someone else.

• Movement: 6 modes. Gravity sensing (the ears react as you tilt and turn your head) plus 5 built-in patterns: outward fold, forward fold, rapid fold, alternating left/right fold and alternating left/right rotation.
• Battery: 450 mAh in the headband. About 1 hour to charge over USB-C; up to about 5 hours of movement per charge. It keeps running while plugged in to a power bank.
• Controls: one button on the band. Hold it to switch on or off, press it to change mode. No app, no Bluetooth.
• Sound: quiet, not silent. The motors make a soft sound you can hear up close in a quiet room.
• Fit: adult-size headband. The ears slide along the band to set the spacing, and it sits over a wig. A smaller headband is available on request.
• Weather: not waterproof. Keep them out of rain and snow.
• Delivery: free to 237 countries. Made to order: 1–2 weeks to make, then 7–14 days in the post.
• Model: LE-E-LION

• Compared with static ear headbands: these move, with 6 modes including gravity sensing that follows your head, but they need charging: up to about 5 hours per charge, about 1 hour to recharge.
• Compared with brainwave-reading ears: nothing here reads brainwaves or needs a forehead sensor. The ears respond to the angle of your head, which you control.
• Compared with app-controlled ears: no phone, no app and no Bluetooth pairing. One button on the band switches them on and changes the mode.

Pick Custom colour above and message us the colour or a character reference after ordering. Same price. We confirm the colours with you before we start cutting.

Sits well with a mane or long hair, since the ears are low-profile enough not to be pushed out of position by it.

Six modes. In gravity-sensing mode a sensor in the headband reads the tilt and turn of your head, and the ears answer your movement. The other five are built-in patterns that run on their own: outward fold, forward fold, rapid fold, alternating left/right fold and alternating left/right rotation. Hold the button on the band to switch on or off; press it to move to the next mode.

Two ways: as a headband, or fixed straight onto a fursuit head with the mounting tape in the box. The ears slide along the band, so you set how far apart they sit and they sit correctly over a wig. The headband is adult size; if you need a smaller one, message us before you order.

• 1 × motion-sensing ears headband, 1 × USB-C charging cable, and mounting tape.

If it is a present, work back from the date. Every pair is made to order, so allow 1–2 weeks to make it and then 7–14 days in the post; Colourway as shown is the quicker route, because a custom colour needs a short exchange with us first. The headband is adult size; if it is for someone with a smaller head, message us before you order. Wherever they are, they have 30 days from the day after arrival to change their mind.

How long do moving lion ears last on one charge? Up to about 5 hours of movement per charge. The headband carries a 450 mAh battery that takes about 1 hour to recharge over USB-C, and the ears keep running while plugged in to a power bank, so a long convention day works with a power bank in your pocket.

Are moving lion ears loud? No, they are quiet, but they are not silent and we will not claim they are. The motors make a soft sound you can hear up close in a quiet room. We do not quote a decibel figure because we have not measured one.

How do motorized lion ears know when to move? They follow the angle of your head. In gravity-sensing mode, 1 of the 6 modes, a sensor in the band reads how you tilt and turn your head and the ears fold, flick and rotate in answer; the other 5 modes are built-in patterns. One button changes the mode. There is no app, no Bluetooth, and nothing reads sound or brainwaves.

Will moving lion ears fit an adult head and sit over a wig? Yes. The standard headband is adult size and sits over a wig like an ordinary headband, and the ears slide along the band so you can set how far apart they sit. If you need a smaller headband, message us before you order.

Can I wear moving lion ears in the rain? No. They are not waterproof, so keep them out of rain and snow, and store them somewhere dry and out of direct sun.

Can I fit moving lion ears to a fursuit head? Yes, with the mounting tape in the box.

Do the fur ear covers come off? Yes. The fur ear covers fasten over the mechanism with hook-and-loop. When you put one back, line the hook-and-loop up with the motor and leave a little room at the tip, or the fold will not show.

Does this listing include a tail? No. This listing is the ears on their own. Several designs in the range come with a matching moving tail; see moving tails.

Can I get them in a different colour? Yes — choose Custom colour above, at the same price, and send us the colour or a character reference after ordering.

How long does delivery take, and is it free? Delivery is free and tracked to 237 countries and territories. Each pair is made to order: 1–2 weeks to make, then 7–14 days in the post. Customs clearance is included in the free delivery, so import duty and tax are already covered and there is nothing extra to pay when it arrives.

Can I return them? Yes, wherever you are: you have 30 days from the day after your parcel arrives to change your mind. You pay the return postage, and we pay it if something is faulty. The full terms are in our refund policy.
