We've seen many combinations done where they take two item effects and break it down into one single equipment. The High/Wood Elfs Ears borrows the effect from both the Elfen Ears and Star Headsets. The Elfen Ear's effect has been nerfed, but the Caddie card slot still remains the same from the headset's ability.

Effectiveness
It's definitely for card users that favors the Star Headsets ability. I don't know how many people on Global servers that uses cards, but I do feel that these ears will not be effective on that server due to heavy restrictions of card removals and lack of sellable cards.
For servers like Korea, cards are easily obtained in the marketplace for pangs and card removers recipes are permanently available in Cadie's Cauldron. Although the Japanese servers cannot sell cards like Korea can, card removers can easily be purchased in the shop for a mere 500 pangs each that has a 100% removal rate.
Korean vs. Japan Distribution
Korea: I was very impressed on how Korea distributed this rare by receiving two ears for the same character instead of one. They also improved the pang economy by only having the High Elfs sellable to players while the Wood Elfs cannot. People can sell the leftover ears for pangs and still keep the other ear for themselves. There are no Cadie Cauldron changes involved with these ears.
Japan: Their method is simply giving both High and Wood Elf Ears for the same character. So no Cadie Cauldron option for them either.
Titanboo Card Exclusion
Titanboo (SCR) card will eliminate having the +2 pixel bonus for good. Because of that card, the highest wind you will ever get is up to 7m. So for players that uses this card, you will have to make a decision between no more 8m-9m winds or +2 pixels on your impact zone.
So for Global players, do you feel like this new ear will make an impact to you or not? I'd like to know since I have no connection with the Global community at all. How about the looks?

I have been waiting for those ears since i read about them on your blog! I cant wait to hopefully get them for my hanna. Hopefully we are going to get them soon... i dont like the current gacha set at all... (+.+)
I am a card player so i like the ability to use 3 cadie cards + 1 pixel on 4m+. I am already using the pink star headset but i tend to ppic 4m+ more often than the lower winds due to my awesome orbital ring ;] So i hope that those ears are going to fix that problem..
I also heard from other ppl that they are excited about those ears and try to get as many as possible. i have no idea how global is going to handle the two versions of it, but i hope it is going to be sth decent. i wouldnt like to play a 20 item set hoping for hannas... :[
Any suggestions how they are going to handle it?
I am very anxious to get my hands on these Ears. Although they do not add as many pixels as my Elfen Ears they do however give the option for a card slot which is great.
I have spoken to some friends who are ready to give up Elfen Ears once they get a hold of these. Pretty sure we may see a deflation of Elfen Ear prices once they come(which is needed!) I would assume they will be in Gacha with the 2 for 1 deal. If that is the case I doubt we would see them being tradable though.
It would be simple to distribute them like Japan did. If you win ears for Hana for example, you'll get both versions of the ears. So a total of 10 rares, still a harsh number though.
Yeah, all I know is that these ears will take some time to think of their setups if they plan to try for these sets. If they have powerful cards that is.
If you're going for Pangya Impact Zone though, High/Wood Elf Ears + Cadie (SC) card combo obviously outbeats regular Elfen Ears alone (with +2px extra Impact Zone on 1~3m winds, and +1px extra Impact Zone on 4~7m winds compared), though with the rarity of the Cadie (SC), I don't think this would be achievable unless you spend a ton of money on getting that card alone. =P
If Cadie (SR) is used though, there will be a plus and minus between the two (High/Wood Elf Ears will have +1px extra Impact Zone on 1~3m wind and -1px Impact Zone on 8~9m wind compared). This provides a good balance on getting the Impact Zone bonus on all winds.
If one of Titan Boo cards is used (especially Titan Boo (SC)), I wouldn't really think on getting both the Ears (and much less the Rainbow/Devil's Feathers and Dolfini Headsets). I'll go for either PEP or Dolfini Headset instead.
Bottom line: it still depends on how you're going to set it up.
But if this goes on Pangya Global, considering the above cases, the High/Wood Elfen Ears would be able to replace regular Elfen Ears and Star Headsets with exception to the pricing. High/Wood Elfen Ears can be either expensive if it's on Scratchy, or unsellable if it's on Gacha; while regular Elfen Ears are more affordable.
For who hasn't problem to hit pangya zone like me or who's skilled even with a great penalty for using a long driver the best solution t's to always chose normal elfen ears and orbital ring to compensate 1-3 winds. I don't think that cadie card is always a must and titan SC gives you a great advantage while playing. Of course having wooden elfen ears every player would like the combination of these new ears with a cadie card inside.
This will highly be a gacha rare in the Global server. I have that feeling that it will be...
It's only +1/+2 pixels? o.o Not as broken as expected. I know some players value a consistent sized pangya bar, so the combination of orbital and these ears is quite nice... and expensive (lol).
these ears are great for players like me lol i want them and they look great too i dont really care to much about the 2 pixel since i play without using any besides my cadie SR and orbital ring which with the ears i wont use the cadie SR so really its much of the same just ill be able to use my hana again (love) lol
I use TB(SC) so I'm really gonna consider whether it is worthy to spend my money on a +1 pixel for 4-7m. I think most players in Global aren't that serious in their setup. Many of them will see it as.. (wow) a new gacha, what good stats it have..then they will just plunge in into it without really giving it much thoughts. Whatever good or "good" things that come, they will just wanna own it first then thoroughly consider whether does it really boost them 100% or just a mere 10%. my thoughts :)
