I don't use them but they are quite comfortable for my husband - no complaints, they are very light.

They are not heavy at all and do not hurt my ears. the weight is prob 2 to 3 ounces. i love mine.

The weight is acceptable however I have no prior experience with other brands nor styles.

I personally have not had a problem with them hurting my ears due to their weight. I've had good luck with them so far. I like being able to adjust the tone as well as well as left to right balance...

They seem to keep out noise but after wearing them a few hours I got a headache they are really heavy. Don't get hot ears. I don't thinks it's leather. But it's soft

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.

According to Sennheiser's website, they're 260g, which is the same as Beats Studio headphones. These headphones were designed for listening at home, not for portability, so they're not especially light. If that weight is uncomfortable for you, you might want to consider lightweight headphones like the Bowers & Wilkins P3 or Bose QC15. Of course, the audio quality isn't the same. Or consider the Beyerdynamic T70p, which is actually a bit heavier than the HD 650 but has a more modern design that distributes the weight comfortably around the ears. I can listen to those Beyerdynamics all day.

maybe you should say what headphones you're getting these for then look up threads on replacement ear pads? these ear pads don't work well with heavy headphones in my experience.

I gave up quickly to be honest they were too narrow. No bass when using my iPhone. I returned them and bought a pair of ath-ad900x's :P

They are on the heavier side but they are super confortable but the headrest cusions are horrible. I have worn these for 7+ Hours without a bother. And the little square headpads can be removed but i do recommend the new headphones they just came out with they look very similar but have a nicer headrest and a in line controller.

Not this item. I bought and regret it. Sennheiser brand is king. I heard that Shure is a reliable brand as well. Remember you get what you pay for.

They are as light if not lighter than wired headphones. They are surprisingly light when you consider their size. They're all I use anymore.

They were heavier than my Logitech G930 headset. They were also tight so if you have a big head or ears like me you'll get a headache quick. They also have a problem with a hissing sound when you use the bluetooth. There's a youtube video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtqKbSeUCE4

Heavy is relative to what your using as wired headphones. As for me its convenience. These are lightweighht enough. I use them at the gym daily snd eould never go back to wired. I have another set for my delivery vehical that i wear most of the day. They are great for me.

I noticed the other person's response to your question talked about clamping pressure. These are some what heavy but very comfortable. The pads are soft too. Bottom line, these "smoke" any headphone I own under $300 in quality of construction. Sennheiser and AKG could learn something from these folks.

Unfortunately I have to agree. I have an original pair that's falling apart, so I bought these. First, they are painful if worn longer than 20 minutes. They sit flat on the ears, so a lot of sound is leaked, and the bass response is severely lacking unless you smash them against your head. I have the travel fiio headphone amp. THAT was a great purchase. Used it on a long flight - 14 hours and no problems. Worked the whole way back too.

I wouldn't say that they feel heavy over time, however the pressure on your ears becomes tiring on long trips. If you think that would bother you, then I think your best bet would be to get a set that completely cover your ears unlike these which sit directly on them. Other than that, these are great. I use them all the time when I travel.

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.

I would prefer Audio Technica in this segment. For me Sennheiser is HD600 and 800.

Not for me. This are the best headphones I've ever had! Also I don't have headaches anymore for using headphones
