I do not have square ears. Do listeners with normal ears have problems with the cups sealing?

Well, nobody has square ears, and its foam. So they will flow air. Therefore, the cannot and do not seal.

The square speaker cups fit fine. I wasn't too sure about them when I got it but they stand out from all the other headphones. Connection is very reliable. A little static when u touch the metal parts of the phones but otherwise great sound

I think it'll depend on what you're doing, and also how your ears are shaped. The plug in my right ear is air tight (no water gets in) and stays that way, even when I use this for wake sports and take high speed falls. I might need to play with the sizes more on my left ear, though. Make sure to try the different rubber tips, but you might be lucky and get a good air tight seal.

You could, but you'll have problems keeping the headset on properly. I usually just put the cup behind my ear if I want to keep one uncovered.

Not very much. But it depends on what kind of music you listen to and how loud you are listening to it. If you keep your volume at a reasonable range it seals pretty well. I haven't had any complains from my peers yet.

They are pretty small and do not create a seal on your ears, so I would guess yes.

They have never formed a particularly tight seal in my ears. I use them on the elliptical and they do ok though, don't fall off or whatever.

No. That was my problem. I guess just the shape of my head around my ears prevented the bud part from staying in my hearing canal. Now it may be that they fit you, but if they don't you're outtaluck.

I have, I presume, average sized ears and they fit entirely inside the "cup". That said, I have very sensitive ears and I don't like anything pressing against them. These work very well for me as the cushion is deep enough. Your mileage may vary.

I'm not too sure, but if it helps, my wife has small ears and she's ok with them. I don't think they will be "snug" though.

They might. I have a fairly normal head and they are not all the way compacted. Also, they fit together when opened such that the headphones are touching which means that they will cup against your ears no matter how small your head is. They actually have to be stretched to be put on by anyone.

Yes, they most certainly can. The closed ear design allows all the sound to stay in the barrier created by the large cups. Also noise-canceling so you won't hear an ounce of a snoring passenger or jet engines.

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.

The ear cups are quite roomy. I do not feel any pressure or touching anywhere on my ears.

Mine do, but my hearing protectors have a soft padded ear piece. Hope this helps.

As long as a tight fit remains the sound is very good. I have a slight problem with them. My right ear canal is smaller then the left. So the smallest bud fits perfectly in the left canal, but its to big on the right so its a tight fit on the right and has a tendency to work itself out and the sound quality starts to diminish until I push them back then everything is good.

I have normal size ears, from what I can tell, and I can feel the ear cups of the PSB's on the edges of my ears a little. Doesn't bother me at all though.

As the others said, getting a good seal is crucial.Everyone's ear canals are shaped differently. I'm going to make a guess that perhaps there is something about the shape of your ear canals that is making it hard for you to get a good seal with these phones.
