Will prolong use of this headphone hurt ears ?

It can if you constantly listen to music too loud. Also if you don't clean the ear buds often, it can cause ear infections. Even if you keep your ears clean, it would still help to clean the ear buds. I like to wipe mines down with alcohol swabs after every few uses. Just be sure to remove the buds while doing so.

I think everyone is different, of course, but these are the most comfortable ear buds I buy. I only buy Skull Candy because I have small ears and these are the most comfortable.

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)

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.

This is probably a matter of personal sensitivity. In my experience, yes, it can be used for extended periods because it is light and presses softly on the ears. I actually forget I have them on for hours sometimes.

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.

They are fine for a couple hours but like others have said, you will need to take them off or readjust the angle. Also, if you have short hair these headphones will hurt more than if you had longer hair (more cushion).

From 20 to 200 hours. My Sennheiser HD280 (similar to Shure closed monitor headphone) continued to increase bass response after 3 month of listening and the final change that I remember was huge. And it was not psychoacoustic adjustment of my hearing as I had other headphones and earphones at a time(which in different degrees benefited from burn in as well) The Sony XBA4 barely responded to burn in... go figure..

I'm experiencing ear pain when I wear it more than an hour. Planning to return it.

no, no they absolutely are not. I would say after an hour, at the most, your ears get really sore. I have relatively normal sized ears I believe so I can't imagine this is unique to me

Thank you! They are good but they hurt my ears when I put my Bluetooth headset on.

I'd have to say that varies from individual to individual. I'm a lover of fancy headphones and I'd say these cans are among the best cordless in this price range. I've worn them for long periods, specifically an hour or two at a time, without complaint and my ears are easily made uncomfortable. For example, I can't wear earbuds at all because they cause me headaches. I hope this helps.

I have had no problems with the headphone. They're comfortable and the design, with the inner strap, adjusts to your particular head size

I have never had a problem with that. These are fantastic headphones. The quality in sound doesn't get any better.

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

Absolutely, the good thing about this specific model is it will not press around your ear, I mean the headphone is evenly flat around your ear so there is no uncomfortable spot around your ear.

Not a significant amount but would give them five to ten hours at about 70% power for the breakin. Listening at that level is also fine. They should mellow a bit after that. Not an extreamly loud headphone anyway. Pretty accurate but position on the ear makes a difference. Will be tight at first.

I wear them a lot at work, bout 8 hours a day 5 days a week. They are horrible. They hurt really bad after about an hour. I now have red parts on the ears because of the irritation they cause. I would suggest using them for a limited time or buy some in the ear earbuds.
