I wanna know how much do they rotate? I know they fold flat one way, but what about the other way? coz I have pretty prominent ears.

the other way they rotate 10 to 15 degres.... I don't think you will need more....

My wife actually uses these while playing in her hand bell choir. She tells me they can rotated anyway you want to turn them. She just brought them in and showed me that they twist in all different directions.

they are adjustable, so you have to move them. You should watch this http://youtu.be/lEjwyYOFwZg?t=2m37s

if you can attach a link to what you are describing i can be exact. My first thought was that it depends on just how contoured they are. If only slightly then yes as the mesh has some play in it. If they are not even fold-able IE the ear part wont fold at all. Then, I'd probably say no. With a link or a photo I could be more definite.

they just fold up into themselves by flipping in and flipping around once they are out so that the ear cups face the right direction. they fold up really nice. I love how they fit right into the side compartment of my shooting bag.

I just examined mine pretty thoroughly, and I see no evidence of any asymmetry going on with the pads. They are somewhat of an oblong shape, but that is the same with both....Maybe yours are defective in some way? I would call Philips, maybe you could ask them how you would go about replacing these earpads as well, since there appears to be no way to do it.....

They are not foldable. Sound however is always in the ears and brain of the beholder. For the money I think they sound great, no complaints and find them to be more than satisfactory for me.

They do not have folding frames. The earpieces rotate 90 degrees, giving them a slimmer profile, but the frames do not fold like some other headphones do. As far as portability goes, I take these to my college classes by slipping them into one of the thinner pockets of my backpack and it seems to work great. Hope this helps.

The ear gel (i.e. softer malleable plastic) attaches to a harder piece of plastic but the "gel" piece can rotate. I haven't seen it tend to slip off so much.

When I got mine, the buds that were on it fit well for me! They supplied with my ear buds a good selection of them ! Every set of ear buds that i have had were smaller and after time came loose! What I do to secure them better is moisten the buds and put my thumb on the rubber part on the casing that indicates right or left and wiggle them so they seat well! Movement of your head and the cord catching on something can cause the problem to I still have to adjust them here and there! I really don't think about it much! I just enjoy them . I hope this helps!!

They can be tightened and turned and seem to be to give you a little more control with balancing it. I have them turned more outward and don't notice them much and occasionally adjust it.

I haven't had any problems. If you plan on a lot of on and off wear with abrubt tossing down then I wouldn't buy them. They have swivel fold ear pieces that may be a problem for someone that continuously takes them on and off or sets them in a place not safe from being squashed, like a couch.

Like in my review, they are, if you can get them at just the right angle. There's no 'locking' position, so you have to make sure they are on just right. This was one of my concerns when buying these, and they work pretty good when you go running. But like "R Squared" mentioned, you have to turn up the volume because they don't block out sound very good. I was looking for some headphones that weren't ear buds because those don't stay in my ears, but these are a lot bigger and bulkier than I thought. The actual ear pieces are pretty fat. And my audio jack ended up ripping away from the wire, but I have no idea why. In conclusion, I wouldn't get these for running.

They fold up into the curve of the headband, but they do not fold 90 degrees inward to flatten out. So their "thickness" does not change - therefore you need to make sure you get a deep enough case if you get a harder case which is recommended.

They don't work period! I could not get them to stay on my ear. You do have to have the one for the left ear on the left ear, but that doesn't work. I mean, look at them. The part that goes in the ear is not down far enough for the part that hooks over the ear. I thought perhaps if I were a Martian.....

They were too big for my ears, hurt so much I couldn't wear them. Whoever said they were falling out of their ears, it makes me doubt they inserted them correctly. They are so big I can't imagine them falling out of anyone's ears (but then of course, maybe it's my imagination lacking). They are BIG.

Hi, H. I'm not real sure what you mean but along the curve of the head band, from the midway point to the center of the ear piece is more like 6 inches. The ear piece swivels a bit to allow for a better fit. There is also supposed to be an inner adjustable neck band which my reseller did not include when they shipped my pair. Look at a few different resellers offerings and you will see what I'm talking about. Mine fit ok Without the inner band but I still mentioned that in my reseller review. I'll never know how different they would fit otherwise. But as far as your minimum requirement of 5 inches I think you're covered. Hi, H.
