do you know what is more comfortable on the ears...this set, or the set that uses foam padding?

It's nice and comfy. Does not weigh too much, sound is good. Bluetooth works pretty good. A nice headset for quite little money.

I personally found the foam one to be more confortable. I also liked that they conformed to the shape of my ear more than the padded ones.

I find these to be very comfortable. This newer version is said to be better than version 1.

Foam padding lighter and thus more comfortable. Swage2 does seem to do more for noise canceling for background noise.

I find this set more comfortable for longer periods - I've worn them for 3-5 hrs my ears get tired. I had similar ones to the foam and it flattens out quickly and gets uncomfortable faster. Ultimately I think that head width and how much they have to stretch side to side will make a difference for some people - for me it isn't an issue.

I feel the answer is relative to ones perception of comfort and size of ones head and ears.Personally, for my size 7-1/4 head and smallish ears these are comfortable.

color is really a matter of personal preference, but as far as comfort and fit, the xl pads have a slightly larger opening to accommodate the ear better than the standard pads. that just means that your ear may fit inside the pad better. they also have more padding in them so comfort is increased. i've found that they get softer over time as you use them.

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 only have experience with the around the ear phones. I personally like them because they are more comfortable on my ears. They don't keep out the noise level as much as my cheaper ear buds, which surprised me. I do love the sound quality of the Bose headset. It is basically a preference for me because of the comfort level on my ears.

They last a while, honestly. I think it's personal preference. The only thing to worry about is that because it's wax, it collects lint and stuff (so if you use it to sleep, that might be your main problem). But otherwise, you can change it as often as you change the regular foam ones. Since it doesn't go into your ear canal and just literally plugs the outside, it's pretty hygienic.

Actually, they're surprisingly comfortable! I can say I used them for about five hours straight the other night mixing tracks and felt no noticeable discomfort. Just to be clear; you do notice them on your head, they just don't hurt. I wear glasses and the foam on these headphones seem to form around the frames (not pushing them into the the sides of my head). Oh, and the foam earpieces are large, so unless you have unusually big ears, you're ok (they really don't even touch your ears). Hope this helps!

Faux leather padding it's comfy for certain hours like all things. Since they have bendable headband it's not comfy if one sitting on edge ear like people do with ear buds.

Not sure if my ears are bigger than most, but the pads do rest on parts of my ears. However, the foam they are made of is stupidly comfortable and I find I can wear them even longer than most headphones where the pads clear the ears entirely. They also do a good job of keeping the harder internal parts on the unit from resting on your ears, which is normally the things that makes headphones uncomfortable for me after a time.

Just go to Amazon.com and type ear foam pads, there will be a lot of options to choose from. They were exactly what I was looking for, I am really pleased with the product!

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.

Both are excellent..... i use mine inside at my office, and can wear it for hours without discomfort. ...... i use the bigger ear tip provided.

They're real comfortable on my medium size head. The padding in the ears and above your head make it comfortable although most of the time they're hanging on my neck. Don't know about smaller head.

The ear pieces cover my ears nicely which really helps to muffle out background noise. Also, the foam around the ear pieces is really cushy so they are comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

The ear pad material is thin but comfortable. I'm on my 3rd set of these headphones and the padding easily lasts through the their working lifetime which is 6 months to a year in my case.

They have an ear bud set of small, med, and memory foam I believe. I know for a fact that the memory foam comes with it because that's what I use!

These headphones are slim. The padding is cushy. I find them pretty comfortable. They've not pinched me and I've used this particular model for years. I've bought a few pairs as they wear out. Hope this was helpful :-)
