The ones my friend had are pretty comfy didn't where them long. Just ordered mine should be here any day. I'll let u know then. Sorry I wasn't more help.

These are very comfortable. They are well padded, and the padding is soft and cushiony. I used to get headaches with the MDRZX300 also. I think the only way to get headaches with the MDR-XB400 is if you play your music too loud because the bass in these headphones is deep.

Their really confertable and their really easy adjustable to fit your head.

My daughter had these, so light, it literally doesn't feel like you are wearing anything. Love them.

Glad to help. Should mention reason I use the soft pillow headphone. I like to listen to audio books in the night. In order not to disturb my husband's sleep I was using ear bugs......truly uncomfortable. The soft pillow set works well for me. Obviously at price it's not stereophonic but as good as the ear plugs. I also like the volume control on the cord. For me, it's a reasonable cost-wise solution. Other alternative would be to get head sets which for me wouldn't work. Hope this helps you make a decision.

Yes, I recommend them for you. First off, they're adjustable. And second....your head's the perfect size. Think positive and enjoy the great sound from these headsets.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

I find them very comfortable and lighter than I expected, really not much different than Sony or Panasonic headphones. I found the Panasonics, for example, to be uncomfortable: not tight, put pressure at some points.

I know this isn't the best environment, but I listen to music for 2-2.5 hours every day on my commute, on the subway. How much disturbance would this cause others? My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-V6. I wish I could listen to music in a quieter environment, but I don't have the time, the subway unfortunately is the best stretch of time I have every day.If you think these would disturb others too much, is there a closed model you recommend? I can't see anything by Sennheiser at approximately this price range and quality, that has a closed back.

Unfortunately I have the same problem for extended listening sessions. After about an hour, the top of my head begins to hurt, just as you are describing. I do not think there is a fix for this, sadly. However, I did not buy these headphones for comfortability, and therefore it is not a big issue to me. The main selling point is the unbelievable audio performance, and boy do these headphones deliver. Sorry I do not have a solution, as I too have the same problem, hopefully someone else can answer

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

I bought a pair of Sony headphones after I purchased the stereo and they work great! My husband is watching TV and I'm listening to Christmas music. The model # to headphones that sound really good is...MDR-ZX300 from Amazon.

In my opinion these are great headphones for the money as long as you don't expect to wear them for an extended period of time. I can only stand them for an hour or so...After that they hurt my head and my ears regardless of how I set the size. For what I want/need them for they are perfect though. As for the creaking, I can't say that I've ever noticed it, but I will admit to only using these when sitting at a computer; I've never tried to walk around with them on.

Being a grown male with (I would say) an average sized & shaped head have shook my head back `n forth quickly (as in a "no" fashion) and have noticed the Sennheiser PC 310 headset slip slightly over the ears (but come back to center). You certainly wouldn't do any headbanging sessions with them on (not that I Headbang). I feel they have just the correct tension for my head size/shape. You actually don't want them too tight, because after a time, you will get ear cartilage fatigue and get to the point you will not want to wear them due to discomfort. So these Sennheiser PC 310 have just the right balance of grip versus comfort for me.

I wear these for a couple of hours at a time, and the only discomfort I experience is that the earcups press on the temples of my glasses, eventually causing them to hurt (like the glasses are too tight on my head). Taking the headphones off for about 10 min or so alleviates the pressure, and I'm good for a couple more hours.If I don't wear my glasses, I have no issues at all.

I game with them. When playing a real good game I can't put down, these ear phones can feel unconformable after about 6 hours. That's not too bad. They won't injure your ears after wearing them that long. You would be good to go the next day for another 6 hours. If I was taking a trip to Asia, or Australia or Africa, where I would basically have them on for 12 - 24 hours, then you might want to look else where.

I like the sound of these, but they are a very tight fit. After 30 minutes, I have to pull them away from my head to let my ears breath a little. On the comfort scale you mentioned, I'd put them at 6 or 7. In other words, not unbearable, but headphones this expensive should be more comfortable than these. I'm already looking for something else (Sennheiser probably)

Did you have a bad experience with this product? We have not. I noticed that many people complain on sites like this. The Internet is full of drama. Meanwhile, we love these headphones.Mr. LCSW

I bought them for my wife. She likes other "in-ear" types and wears these for hours and hours without any complaint. Personally, my ears get sore when I wear any type of the "in-ears" so I use skull candy "fix-buds" when I am going to listen for a long time. So, if you like the in-ear kind of headphones, they'll be great. If not, I suggest the skullcandys I mentioned earlier.

The general pain with headphones is the size of the ear cuff, as well as size of head to what this fits. If you are replacing the headphones because they hurt your ears, I would recommend passing these by. The cushions for the ears are not large enough to avoid that very same problem with these head phones. you should invest in ones that have larger ears(and probably sounds proofing, as these don't have any)
