Practical Q: Are these cool/comfortable for extended wear -- I often get hot/sweaty that can make the best of cans unenjoyable in practice

It is in general comfortable and cool. But there is a moulded bumper along the top band which becomes a little pressing after some time. Compared with the AKG K240 I own, this one is a little bit behind in terms of long term wearing comfort.

Yes these headphones are very light and are designed to have minimum impact on the skull. There is a comfortable leather band that sits flush with your head. Also the cups are felt lined and very comfortable. They do breath if sweat is an issue.

Hard to answer for someone else. I've read complaints about the bumps on the headband, but I don't even notice them. The ear pads are foam covered in a soft material. The pressure feels very gentle to me and I don't find them hot, even on the hottest summer days.

They are cool, sound is fantastic. But how long you intend to wear them, I don't know...but let's say....if you wear them for 1-2 hours, your ears start aching a bit due to the pressure being exerted by the pad on your ears. They don't heat up....I don't wear them for too long...

My brother-in-law did not complain about getting sweaty. These mattresses have a padded/zippered cover over them so you are not sleeping directly on the foam. Another reviewer had mentioned that they did not experience overheating on these like they did on other memory foam mattresses. Hope that helps.

Yes they do leak a bit especially at very high volume. Also I myself found that wearing them for a few hours while at the gym my ears got hot and sweaty

I have gotten used to them and I can wear them for two to three hours without problem. For me, these headphones did not seem to be difficult to wear for two/three hours. I can wear them longer than I can tolerate the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (which after a while tend to make my ears sweaty). But do keep in mind this is dependent on the individual, just because these headphones work for me it does not mean they will work for everyone. It is easy to forget that every person has a different head size, differently shaped ears, and perhaps many other subtle differences that are hard to see in a review. I admit that it is hard finding comfortable headphones; you kind of have to try them for a while and see if you accommodate/tolerate them. One thing I do know, if they do hurt your ears do look for something else. It doesn't matter if they sound good but you can't wear them, then they are no good to you. Sometimes it is worth to visit a real store and try many headphones and see if there is a pattern in terms of comfort and fit. But if I do visit a store, I feel compelled to buy from the store to remain fair to the fact that I use the store to test and try out the product.

I have a Melon head myself and sometimes wear these all day when I'm home listening to music or watching TV. My son (smaller head) can wear these 10+ hours while gaming (plugged in) and neither one of us have noticed any discomfort. They have a good seal so it tends to make us sweat a bit.

I would say no. I have been wearing mine less than an hour sitting down relaxing and my ears are pretty hot. I can only imagine sweating with them on. I have my sony ear "buds" (I don't really consider them earbuds though) that work well. I've owned them in three different colors over the last few years and definitely prefer them.

I haven't really sweat a lot in them. The foam is pretty thin, so I'm a bit worried about how long they'll last in general, but they're replaceable, so probably not a big deal. Sound is good, unless you require monster bass.

I wouldn't think so, but if you are wearing them in the desert at the Burning man event. I would think they would be awfully hot. The vents allow the heat to escape, but, still, you will probably be drenched with sweat? My best guess...

Nope, no sweat that I've seen. My son and I both use them, and we think they're pretty great. :-)

Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours. With that said I find on-ear headphones to be discomforting in general, the sides of my ears get pinched and if you have sensitive skin it will leave bruises and your ears will look like a banana peel. I wouldn't recommend on-ear headphones for extended usage, over the ear headphones would be ideal. I think you can order custom earpads for the device, not sure how much they cost but I'm sure you probably don't want to spend additional money for that. Maybe consider the Audio-Technica's M50X I reviewed both these headphones on my channel. Cheers! Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours.

I have the black ones and I live in Florida, south Florida, and I can assure you that you will NOT feel hot wearing these. If, for example, you are wearing a cotton Hanes T-shirt with short sleeves, these "sleeves" can be worn down to your mid-knckles and go all the way up to your short sleeve t-shirt and then some; and I don't have short arms; I don't have orangutan arms either, but I would say for a female, my arms might be slightly longer than average; I am 5'8" tall, and my arms are may be a little under average in width, but these sleeves will stretch to accommodate, and WILL NOT be uncomfortable or make you feel like the blood has stopped flowing through your arms; once you yank them up high enough, and pull them down to dover the major part of your hand, you won't even feel them; sometimes I have to pull them down further on my knuckles if grasp something, but that is so minor; they are GREAT, and I am extremely picky... Hope this helps...(I have no affiliation with this Company, but wish I did, then I would get their entire line) p.s. white will get dirty, I think, but it will only take a second to try them...But I have only the black ones and wear them every time I go out. And they show no wear. And they only take a second to put on, I don't have much patience for long laborious dressing tasks...

These really aren't the best headphones for that. Not to mention they shouldn't be used outside if you want to keep them working.Their fluffy cloth that pads the headphones will probably make you sweat more. For practice you need something that is less fluffy and more leather/plasticy like.

I wish I could be as positive as the 3 comments i read. I found them to be hot and clammy, and even tho they were sticky they did not stay in place. They felt natural but uncomfortable (if that makes any sense). For a purely cosmetic NEED, they could suffice.

I use them at the shooting range and they've been very comfortable for 1-2 hours use but they fit very snug to deafen sound. I would think that trying to wear them for long periods, like overnight, would become uncomfortable.

They're super light and comfortable, but the sweat trapped under them would bother me. I always use ear buds personally. In terms of comfort, though, these beats would be completely comfortable to work out with.

No, unfortunately, due, I think to you skins moisture; but if you apply them well they last all day and I have even gone swimming in them. One time I slept in them and was able to continue wearing them the next day. Of course I had just bathed and was clean but had a morning occasion where I needed them again, so that was amazing to me. In other words they are pretty durable and lasting.

My experience is that they're pretty good for the type of headphone they are: quite snug for this style. I find them too bulky and hot to consider ideal during a workout. They don't seem like they're designed to deal with sweat, etc., so the getting them wet with sweat kind of grosses me out too. For normal use I don't consider them too bulky or hot, but to workout I think I prefer an earbud style over these.
