Are these earbuds comfortable enough to wear all day? do they feel like plastic and hurt your ears? or are they soft?

I wear this brand all the time. I can't wear the free ones that apple gives with their products since they are too hard and hurt my ears. They are very soft and are excellent to wear riding in cars and airplanes where the marshmallow part acts like ear plugs. Usually each package will come with at least two (sorry, cant remember if it is two or three) spare sets of marshmallows in different sizes.

I wear one in ear all day at work to listen to audiobooks and they're super comfortable. That's why I like them so much

I'm not sure what you're doing with your ears to experience pain, but they're good enough. They're more on the plastic side, but they won't gouge your ear out or anything.

They can easily be worn all day. The buds are soft, made of the same foam material as earplugs you would wear for hearing protection or to sleep. You'll love them.

Personally, I find them much more comfortable than a pair of in-ears in most cases. As noted previously, they are not noise-cancelling. Also, they do not isolate nearly as well as some other cans and definitely not as well as most in-ears. However, they are very light-weight, and have very large ear cups. The biggest factor in the comfort is how tightly they clamp onto your head... if you've got a big noggin, they may feel tight which would give you a headache after a while. If not, you're good to go. Even if they don't work out for you on the plane ride, you'd be hard pressed to find more comfortable and better sounding cans than these for the same price. Very much worth owning.

The headphones belong to my teenage daughter. She said she never has worn them all day. She's worn them 3-4 hours at a time before. She said they have never been uncomfortable to her. She said they are neither cheap nor deluxe. She said they are "middle of the road" as far as quality. She has had a few pairs of ear buds before. One kind she has had are from her iPod and another kind came with an MP3 player a few years ago. She has not had a lot of experience with ear buds. But, she said that she likes these ear buds a lot.

I find that these headphones do hurt the ears and are not adjustable. I sync these with my android and use them at my desk all day, they're also great for using around the house. But after a half hour or so they definitely pinch the back-top of my ears. Not so much that they're unusable but enough that I definitely can't call them comfortable. I'm keeping them because they work great and the price is phenomenal but I think I'll get a pair of over the ear for all day use. If you're a bigger guy you may want to do the same, or at least realize that they will not "break-in" over time. If they're uncomfortable when you get them, they will stay that way. Otherwise, great product. I find that these headphones do hurt the ears and are not adjustable.

This pair of headphones are quite comfy. My only issue with them is that when I wear them for a long periods, my ears start to hurt, not because of the sound, but because they don't really sit well on my ears - that's probably because my ears are shaped kinda oddly, so its not really a fault of the headphones but of my genetics. Other than that, my brother has used these for 6 hours straight at one point and had no issue whatsoever. However, these headphones are open headphones so not only will the sound leak out (other people can hear it) if you put the volume too loud, but you will be able to hear other people as well. So if the airplane is gonna be noisy, you might as well not be wearing any headphones. This pair of headphones are quite comfy.

I use them daily for about 45 minutes on my walk. I like the feel of the headphones behind the ear as they don't move around while I'm listening to music or news. They have never been uncomfortable - in fact they are extremely comfortable. I'm not sure about fitting all ears as I suppose it depends on the size of the ear but I would think they would fit most ears comfortably.

Yes, they are very comfortable and I use them when I am out and about on my scooter (disabled). I use them on my iPod, at home on my computer. They have very soft cushion in both ears and and deliver the same sound as they did when I first bought them. I will use them for a few hours at a time and they are very durable. Hope this helps you, Jeff

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.

I can wear these for several hours with no discomfort. Other earbuds hurt after an hour.

The are very comfortable. The piece that goes into your ear is actually made of a spongy foam. I love these headphones and only use them.

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.

The soft silicone ones are fantastic. Keep your ears very clean and you might get 5-6 days of use. I've been using these for over 10 years and no complainants.

These don't rest on your ears, they rest around your ears.. as long as you adjust the headband so it is resting right, i have worn then for 6-8 hours with no discomfort.

I've only had them for a few days but i would say they are definitely worth the price. The flimsy looking earbuds concerned me, but they don't feel nearly as flimsy as they look.

No, they aren't exactly comfortable. I would recommend the etymotics over these all day. As a stage musician I tried both and these ones muffled things worse than the old school spongy ones.

Yes, I have to admit earbuds aren't very comfortable because they lack a good ergonomic design, i.e., comfort that you have with traditional headphones. They suit the purpose of a hands-free device.
