How is the earphones comfort? Do they stay in? After hours of listening, anybody's ear(s) tend to become sore?

I think ear size is the key. The pair that fit me best were a little tight and caused a little soreness after a few hours.

Did not like these. Too uncomfortable and Bose headphones bought later much better.

It comes with several different sized ear pieces. After a bit of experimenting I found the one that fit best and it stays in pretty well. I don't think they would stay in during exercise but walking is fine. Just used them on a long haul flight to Asia and they were comfortable the whole time. Ear size might make a big difference so YMMV.

Terrible DO NOT buy these... Especially if you are going to use it on an iphone.. it keeps trying to make phone calls when listening to podcasts or music... Keeps falling out of the ears and the little control box doesn't have a clip.

I wear mine for 1-2 months. They eventually get too soft and don't expand well and they usually are a little soiled from ear wax. I got the package and have had them for probably a year?

This is the only brand and style I wear. They stay in my ears until I wear them so long that they start to dry out and then occasionally one might come out during the night. But, I usually will change them out before they get hard. I keep the pair I'm using in a plastic case when I'm not wearing them. I sleep on my side and they don't stick so far out of my ear that they are uncomfortable. I make sure that they are warmed from my hands before I squeeze the end that I insert in my ear and then when it expands in my ear, it stays put. I just make sure they are pushed in far enough. I am so used to them I can't sleep without them! Hope this helps. This is the only brand and style I wear.

I have small ears so after 3 hours or so of non stop use, I get tired. But my friend who has bigger ears can wear them longer. As for them being bright. I think that if you put the gain to 0 or every music you play isnt fluffed you will get true sounds. Not too much bass or mids or highs. Compared to Seinheissers which I love, its a close 2nd to those and those are amazing

I bought them for my wife. She likes other "in-ear" types and wears these for hours and hours without any complaint. Personally, my ears get sore when I wear any type of the "in-ears" so I use skull candy "fix-buds" when I am going to listen for a long time. So, if you like the in-ear kind of headphones, they'll be great. If not, I suggest the skullcandys I mentioned earlier.

Depends on the size of your ears. Personally, the bottom of my ears are "in" the cup of the headphone, but the top of my ears are "out" of the cup of the headphone. They feel very natural to me. I don't even notice where my ears are in relationship to the "cup" of the headphone.Also, I don't recall how many months (should be double digits by now) that I've been using these headphones, but they haven't lost any quality in that time period. I use them daily for 5-8 hours at a time and they have held up great! Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Unfortunately I have the same problem for extended listening sessions. After about an hour, the top of my head begins to hurt, just as you are describing. I do not think there is a fix for this, sadly. However, I did not buy these headphones for comfortability, and therefore it is not a big issue to me. The main selling point is the unbelievable audio performance, and boy do these headphones deliver. Sorry I do not have a solution, as I too have the same problem, hopefully someone else can answer

no, no they absolutely are not. I would say after an hour, at the most, your ears get really sore. I have relatively normal sized ears I believe so I can't imagine this is unique to me

First and foremost, it's not that great for your ears to fall asleep to music with headphones on, regardless of what type they are. But to answer your question, I've found that they're quite comfortable to lay down on. When I'm laying on my side with them, they feel a bit fragile, but there's little to no pressure at all.

I ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!

These are designed to fit your ear in different places. The shape helps the earpiece to stay in your ear. Just make sure you get the right size. That's the most important part. I wear mine for about fourteen hours a day and I haven't had an issue with them falling out or discomfort.

I can't keep them in long enough to know. Probably me but the buds are a PITA. I just use my big cumbersome headset. It doesn't fall out all the time.

I have used them for about four hours straight and didn't have an issue with them. I know its not as long as flying out of country. They were comfortable, really good memory foam around the ear cup. I would recommend them. Hope this answers your question.

I personally can't get them to be comfortable in my ears to begin with. If you don't mind things being inserted into your ears, i'm sure they would be fine. I find that they do not stay around my ears very well. I love the concept of them, but I am finding it difficult to use them for this reason. I will say the sound quality is great, and i've used them while on the phone and all the people i've spoken to said that they can hear me perfectly and never would have known that I was on a headset and not speaking directly into the phon.

Joanne: they stay in pretty well, but not completely. I seem to have more trouble with that than most though. The bigger problem is that there is a design flaw with the plastic part that attaches it to your ear, just below the ear bud. Both of mine broke almost immediately and I've had to splint them together with electrical tape. For that reason I probably wouldn't recommend these. Sound is good though for the price.

At first I thought they were not comfortable. After day one I realized i was just not used to having huge headphones on my head. I have since gotten used to them and think they are very comfortable. That being said, I still can't where them for more than 2hrs at a time. After extended use, I will take them off for a couple of minutes, walk around and put them back on with no problem.

I have had no trouble with them staying in. The problem I do have is that if you do not put your finger on the rubber when pulling them out, the rubber tips will pull off the stem of the earphone. For me, they do a great job.
