9 yr old son said they were uncomfortable and hurt his ears. He wore them for ~20 min and his ears were bright red. Do they get more comfortable?

My four year old users them and hasn't complained. I had to adjust them to fit smaller for her, if you haven't already let them out then you may try that. I know that the few times I've put them on they weren't comfortable because they felt too small.

Hello -- we've had some petite adults say they were ok for them, but as we know everyone is a different size. I'll address this more fully in your email to us, but one quick fix might be to stretch them about a bit (the metal band is flexible). We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so we'll work something out with you of course. Thank you.

My 12 year old son has the monster headphones,he love them.He keeps them on for hours,I have never heard him complain about them being uncomfortable.

Actually, they're surprisingly comfortable! I can say I used them for about five hours straight the other night mixing tracks and felt no noticeable discomfort. Just to be clear; you do notice them on your head, they just don't hurt. I wear glasses and the foam on these headphones seem to form around the frames (not pushing them into the the sides of my head). Oh, and the foam earpieces are large, so unless you have unusually big ears, you're ok (they really don't even touch your ears). Hope this helps!

Just my opinion, but I think not. As I said in my review, I found them too uncomfortable to wear for a few minutes, but even if they fit you better than they fit me, I don't see how anyone could possibly sleep with these on. Try some simple earplugs like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001YXOEE/ref=nosim/103-1990038-9555833?n=228013

Yes. I found they were a bit tight at first, which made longer listening sessions uncomfortable after a while, but they seemed to relax a bit after enough use.

I'm pretty sure that you would get ear infections. :-) when I wear them for about 15 minutes or so, my ears get very sweaty.they do great with .noise reduction, and they're pretty slim, but unless you sleep on your back I don't think I would even bother.

I think so. I've worn them for a few hours with no issue. My son wears them more often and never complains about the comfort.

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes). Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose). I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

I tried having them in my ears while standing next to a wheel grinder machine at work. When in use I thought it might make a similar racket. Anyway, the earplugs dulled the "high end" whine and some of the loud rattling sound. So, I guess it couldn't hurt for him to wear them to protect his hearing. Might not seem like much of a difference as far as volume, but the disruptive aspects of the noise were cut considerably.

when they are powered up, the button must be pressed on one set to activate the pairing. they are then voice activated to communicate. i dont think it would be a problem for a 10-12 year old to use them. the sets i have are not adjustable, so i am not sure how the fit would be on a 10-12 year old. these hurt my ears after 2-3 hours of continuously wearing them.

From my experience, these headphones weren't comfortable for more than 30 minutes at a time. I don't know if it's because I have a small head, but these sat quite heavy atop my head and I couldn't bear them for long.

I used a hair dryer to soften the plastic and reshaped them a little. It worked but no matter what after a while they still get uncomfortable. So I switch from these to ear buds.

I basically liked these headphones, but for me they did become a little painful/pinching after 1-2 hours of wearing. However, if you look at the other reviews you'll find quite a spread of opinion on their comfortable level. It seems you have to try them for yourself.

Yes. A fresh pair may be a little tight at first (sometimes my ears get a little sore with new plugs), but as the plugs get used, they become more pliable and hence, more comfortable.

My ears get a little sore, bu I believe that's to be expected. They also get a little "warm" but nothing too bad. I find them very comfortable.

I used them, and I inserted them correctly (rolled them up into a tight cylinder then put them in my ear). In the morning, my ears hurt, even for a little while after I took the ear plugs out. I think I must have small ear canals -- when I buy headphones that have different-sized ear pieces, I always have to use the smallest ones. Anyway, I would say they are not comfortable for smaller ears.

I found that on the head they felt very good...however for me my ears started to really hurt after about 45 minutes or so of use. I noticed this trend though with any on the ear headphones, so personally this was enough for me to return them to purchase a pair of song OVER the ear headphones.
