Are these more comfortable with the XL Memory Cushions? I've seen some people say they are uncomfortable, but never have they mentioned the XL MC.

Yes, i wear glasses and i thought they would be uncomfortable due to how both ear peices touch when you're not wearing them, but they are the most comfortable headphones I've had.

I've had these headphones for a month now and I have to say that the cushions really make a difference also for the sound. At first the larger cushions will be uncomfortable when you rest the headphones on your neck but once they loosen up they feel amazing and the normal ones pinch your hears quiet a lot so yes really worth buying them

I haven't tried them yet. I bought them to use at certain music (including classical) venues. I am very sensitive to noise and things like tenor sax hurt not only my ears but my whole body. I tried them when I received them but found them to be a bit difficult to insert properly. Sorry I can't help you. :(

My ear pad cushions have reached their end and to avoid paying around $30, I checked out some similar ear pads on amazon. I bought these (http://amzn.com/B00B1YWIZ4) and they fit the frame fine. They aren't exactly the same size, but they fit close enough. The foam is a bit stiffer, but I haven't noticed any significant differences. You might also try these (http://amzn.com/B00B6Z9BN0) though they don't have fabric across the ear hole. As J. Lin commented, a 7cm diameter seems to be close enough.

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes). Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose). I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

I agree with Bruce Hudgens. The cushions don't surround the entire ear, and provide that extra resistance to being knocked off the head and onto the pavement. Being monitor headphones, I bought them for listening at home and recording. They sound great and are comfortable.

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!)

Are you listening to digital or analog recording? I have only listened to digital music with these, and they have had good response. Not having ever used say a $300 pair of headphones; I don't know how they would compare. They do beat the small earbuds by far; and are not too bad to sit for extended times on the head. You will have to sit up though, these are not that comfortable reclined or lying down.

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 do not have memory foam in mine. I'm not an expert, but memory foam conforms more to your body and you see an impression for a couple of seconds. The high density foam doesn't act the same way.

Found some cushions at Radioshack. Not as nice as the Sennheiser, but they fit!

I got the XL size and it was small and uncomfortable. Horrible materials. After trying different ones, I like the NXE Performance View ActiveSleeve for iPhone (Black) X-LARGE. Very comfortable

Hi Jeff! Well, I haven't had them (ordered two - one in my car and one at my computer desk) but so far, they work very well and not flattening. The cover slides a little (who cares?). They are very comfortable. I had back surgery (new disc and 4 screws). Doctor said my last disc is about ready to go. So it was very hard to sit and I sit for a long time grading or preparing materials for school. I have tried other pads but this is the best so far for sure so I would recommend it. Sit in comfort. :-)

Very uncomfortable. The headband hurts because the cushion is too thin. I can feel the two plastic bars behind the cushioning. I bought some headband cushions from Sennheiser and attached them to the Shure 440 with some zip ties. The ear pads are terrible as well due to the lack of cushioning. I would recommend buying the SRH840 ear pads which fit on the Shure 440 headphones.

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 have the headphones in teal and so far they are extremely comfortable because of the cushion. There is even cushion on top of the head band part. I've never had their other products but I love the ones I have.

no, they are comfortable, and replace the original 225 pads well, they are a tiny bit oversized but thats good so you don't tear them when installing them on your cans. hope this helps and happy listening
