Is it possible to get larger pads? It's just slightly too small that it hurts my ears after wearing for about half an hour.

Have not seen larger pads. The pressure does not bother me, but if it did I would take the headset into a music shop that sells instruments and listening tools to musicians and perhaps they have a way to reduce the tension in the headband. My guess is someone would have to deftly bend it beyond its springback memory tensile force yet not so far that it takes a permanent set and loses all clamping force. My guess is that this is done for musicians who use headsets all day long.

I hear you but never seen a larger pads possibility on any forum for this already fairly large/wide portable driver size. I also have the rival DT1350 from Beyer with smaller and softer pads for "big ears" but it too is "on ears" and not around although size is important for proper seals. I guess you have to live with the original design or buy a different sized headphone. I too wished for a bigger Cup here!

I'm a small woman, 5' tall and I think my ear canals are small, although I am in my 50's and I think ears get bigger the older we get. The extra small may not give you the seal that you need for these to work. I think their return policy is pretty good if they don't fit correctly. It is really hard to judge without actually trying them on. I just took a chance with the small and got lucky.

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

You may be able to do that on the Jabra website. I tried to get a bigger ear clip because this one was so painfully small but when I called Jabra they said they didn't make different sizes.

I'm 5'3" and find them too big. Even doing as the instructions say doesn't help much, as it just doesn't slide in smoothly when rolled into a tight cylinder (again, I have small ear canals, I suppose). I really have to mess with them to get them in. Sometimes I wake up and my ear canals are kinda itchy, so you may want to take that into consideration, as well (I forgot to mention that in my original post).

Let me add this after reading other's reviews. They actually cover most of the ear and the very comfortable padding sit on parts of your ear to be exact. I apologize if I gave you wrong information. But to me it just lays on my upper and very little on my ear lobes. You do NOT need th try to stretch them out with a pillow. You want them snug, but not to tight. If too loose you will lose the Bass part of songs. Find a comfortable pillow and lay back and enjoy the music. Over time the material will get use to your head size. Hope that explains it in my opinion.

I just examined mine pretty thoroughly, and I see no evidence of any asymmetry going on with the pads. They are somewhat of an oblong shape, but that is the same with both....Maybe yours are defective in some way? I would call Philips, maybe you could ask them how you would go about replacing these earpads as well, since there appears to be no way to do it.....

I wear these over glasses and ear buds connected to my iPod. They fit kind of tight. They work great, but after a couple hours of yard work my ears are begging for some air. The head band is a strong flexible plastic material. I've tried to bend it to loosen up the fit but without any luck. The ear pads do slide up and down to adjust the fit vertically but there is no way to adjust horizontally for the pressure against the ears. I guess the comfort will depend on how wide your head is and how long you wear them.

I think you have a better chance of these pads working for you. My problem was the tip of my toes. I hope this helps and I hope if you purchase them that they will help. Thanks for asking for my opinion.

I have a very large head (I just measured it as about 24.5 inches in circumference, or "XX-Large" according to a hat site), and I wear glasses. I find other cheap headsets extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I'd actually log off of voice communications with my friends because my ears hurt.But I find these headphones very comfortable and frequently wear them for hours without even noticing. I would recommend anyone with a big head give them a try; be aware that you might need to wear them for a while before they loosen up a bit. Also position them so that your ears are entirely inside the cups. The cups measure a little more than 2 inches by 2 inches, square, on the inside.

Often times this does happen. You may be able to find a value 'bundle' pack that has the same or assorted ear bud sizes for replacement or modifying the size to larger or smaller. That is going to be a great start.

I think my ears are average. They fit over my ears very comcomfortably. I think the headphones still have some room. The pads are not pressing on my ears.

Samuel, I have the same headset as you. I have not ordered these pads yet. Have you been successful in finding a correct pad? If so, what are they? Chuck S.

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.

I was wondering the same thing! I had a puppy chew one ear pad but the headphones are not damaged! So, instead of spending money on a new pair of headphones, I'd like to buy replacement pads!!

I have small ears and they fit great. You should give them a try. I hope you like them.
