What material is on the cushion part of the headset? I can't tell from the picture. And is it "breathable"? As in, do your ears get too hot?

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

The material is basically a felt cloth and not leather like you might expect. It can get a little warm after a while of wearing but it's not super horrible.

I've had mine for a few years now, and love them. They've never bothered me in any way. Specifically, no, my ears do not get hot at all. As an aside, the company has GREAT customer service. I broke something on them after the warrantee period was up and they still sent me the replacement part, free of charge and with no postage charge.

Mine is a couple years old and has great abilities and Quality for your listener. I know many people, When I'm talking on it, don't even know I'm on the headset. As far as airbuds... They provide you with a little bag so you can put the one that feels the best for you. Hopefully they'll have your size. unfortunately I had t my original one go through the wash because it was in my pants pocket, so I got it replaced... but after it dried out it actually worked pretty good, So much so my son uses it for when he plays video games. Also I found @ another store, a small little protective case for it. Because it is so small and I put in there, it takes care of it I love it. It works great and it holds a good charge for six hours and it talks to you and tells you how much time. When you get Low, it gives you about a 10 minute warning while & if you're on a phone call etc. You won't regret buying ever

Yes, there's some sound leakage. If you're concerned about this, you may want an over the ear headset rather than an on your ear headset as this one is.

I say some cheap foam because after wearing them for 2 or 3 hours it starts to hurt your ears. I know it's not fabric.

I believe the materials are plastic, and they are comfortable, but they do get wet with perspiration. I am thinking to ccover the earpieces with cotton. These headphones sound much better than Beats. They have full bass sound, whereas Beats sounded reedy and thin when I tried them in several stores. I adore the micro SD card slot-- I put my own music in the headphones and enjoy. I am very happy with this brand.

Better late than never. They feel like cotton. If they aren't, it is a very high quality synthetic. I suspect cotton, due to the fact I have no sweat issues. The Beyerdynamic site is quite vague on accessory info.

I wear the headset over my ear with glasses. It is comfortable, but it did take some getting used to. Definitely leave on the foam sleeve that comes on the over the ear piece. I haven't tried it without it, but other reviews complain about the hard plastic. I'm sure it would be more bothersome to wear the ear piece with glasses, without the foam sleeve.

The earbuds do not get warrm. I have not worn them and felt warm ears but I can imagine in a hot summer day perhaps. Nothing I noticed.

The leakage I'm not too sure about. I haven't had anyone say anything. They are an outstanding headset though. I use them for gaming and music producing and have no complaints at all.

Personally I didn't like the feel of the headphones. The ear cups don't have very deep impressions, and then the covering prevents your ear from going into the hole, I'd consider these on the line of being over the ear headphones because of this. I was also surprised at how hot my ears got. I couldn't wear them all day at work, I ended up returning them.

I have small ears and when I saw the size of these I thought they would simply be too big and I would have to remove them. The large pads fit over my ears which is really surprisingly comfortable so it's like my ears sit inside them? I've been using these for over 8.5 hours a day working and never once have they gotten uncomfortable or itchy like a pair I have that sits on my ears nor have the gotten sweaty (FL heat). They look large and are highly adjustable but even at no headband adjustment that are snug and have never slipped off. For me, this is prob the most comfortable headset I've used besides my Sony MDR-V6 headphones (too different functions and price points though of course!)

They are over ear. And yes, they are VERY comfortable. The only complaint I have is that they are so comfortable that I will just leave them on after what I'm listening to is finished. I leave them on so long that my ears start to slightly sweat. I absolutely LOVE these headphones. I cannot say that enough. If you want comfortable, beautiful-sounding, yet very affordable headphones, these CANNOT BE BEAT!!! (pun intended, LOL)

The construction is all plastic as far as I can tell. However, you're right in your thinking; because the ear cups are so large and round, the pillow or cushion will likely push them up on your head. From my experience it isn't a huge deal, from a comfort or listening perspective, but this is not my primary way of listening. So use your best judgment.

It feels like a synthetic polymer of some kind. It's definitely soft. It's almost the same texture feel as the ear pads

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

I am just "learning the ropes" about using this headset so I honestly could not tell you. Sorry I could not give you a better response.
