Are these vertically oblong? I worry about the front side of the ear cup pressing too closely against the earhole causing pain?

With my experience, I haven't had any trouble with that. They are very comfortable.

They wouldn't really be angled correctly if you didn't put them over your ear. I've seen the same brand has a non-over ear version.

No. The ear inserts are covered by foam tips. They are very comfortable. Extended use my cause irritation but you'll have to have them in the majority of the day to notice.

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.

I'm 5'3" and find them too big. Even doing as the instructions say doesn't help much, as it just doesn't slide in smoothly when rolled into a tight cylinder (again, I have small ear canals, I suppose). I really have to mess with them to get them in. Sometimes I wake up and my ear canals are kinda itchy, so you may want to take that into consideration, as well (I forgot to mention that in my original post).

I find them to be a bit of a pain to get into my ears, and once they are in, they begin to hurt after awhile. I assume that is because they are too big for my ear canal. I stopped using them and went back to another type of ear plug.

No, my experience with this head set has been great. I haven't had a problem with them hurting my ears. They are very comfortable. My only problem is that the wire is too short but besides that I am very impressed

that's a good question that I wish I had asked. yes they hurt my ears after 30 -60 min. And the spring is strong and non-adjustable. I don't use them at this point as earbuds are more comfortable.

Nope. They have an earpiece that goes behind your ear and this holds them in place.

I wear a 2Xl helmet because I have very long and thick hair. After and hour, I could feel them pressing against my ears and after 90 minutes they started to hurt. They are adjustable ear-to-ear...

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

No these are ON ear type, and they do cause ear fatigue for me after about 30 min or so. I have above average to large ears for reference.The area it hurts for me is the cartilage at the back of the ear and the ear lobe area.

Unfortunately no however you can arrange them so that they fit over your ear rather snugly. I prefer this, as the plastic ear attachments have irritated me in the past. They also have inner ear hooks that are soft that help keep the headphones in place.

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 nice thing, which I didn't realize when I ordered, is that they are adjustable! The ear clip extends to make it longer or shorter (snaps into place nicely and doesn't move unless desired) AND the entire side piece can tilt to change the angle in much the same manner. So they are very adjustable. So assuming you do not have a Alien sized noggin, you should be ok.

I'm curious as to how far you are inserting them into your ear canal that they protrude as you describe. They have to seat well enough into your ear that just the "stem" is poking out. Use care / common sense when in proximity to things that may bump your ears of course, but in everyday use, you should be fine. When I use them, the stem is almost barely noticeable unless you are looking for them.

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