how comfy are these compare to the B&W p5? I find the B&W P5 hurt my ears under an hour which is a shame because I love the quality sound!

These are very comfortable, but you need to adjust them. B&W; P5 are much tighter fitting than these, these are not.

I don't how the other headsets compare, but I'll say this: I wore these on a nine hour flight from NY to Moscow, and they didn't hurt my ears. They are very adjustable and just snug enough. And, it comes with a airline adapter.

You are not going running or working out at the gym with these, but for sitting and walking, I find them very comfortable. Have worn them for several hours at a time without irritation.

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 can recomend the H6. Very comfortable, perfect sound. I have tried all sorts of different brands, but B&O; is just unbeatable.

pretty comfortable. After about two hours they start to dig into your ears a little, but overall I'd say they are pretty good. The sound is excellent!

These were the Best Buy variant of the B20s. According to Klipsch, the only reall difference is a slightly different crossover point. My guess is that these might be a little warmer than the B20s. Interestingly, these rate better. I have a set and I like them very much.

I assume the physical design of the SE846's is identical to the SE535's.I initially found the SE846's to be uncomfortable over extended periods, but have found that my ears are adjusting to them slowly. The longest session I've had is 90 minutes so far. I suspect though that i will use my custom UE11's though for long flights

I use the earphone several hours a day. I find them to be very comfortable and have a fantastic sound quality!

I actually ordered both and ended up sending back the Sennheisers. Yes, the Sennheisers sound more airy/open, obviousy. And they are ridiculously comfortable. But apart from that, the Brainwavz win. The 598s have a very "warm" sound, which some people might like, but the HM5s had a much more clear and accurate sound. The 598s didn't have nearly as much bass. You couldn't really "feel" it the way you can with the HM5s, and the bass would occasionally peak out with really low stuff. All in all I would recommend the Brainwavz, hands down.

They're way better than the Skull Candy ones, and I'd say they're about the same as the Sonys, but the sound is a little clearer on the basses. The Sennheisers are also more comfortable than both by a good long way. They're not "isolation" headphones, so you'll hear outside noises, but they're great for swearing for hours at a time. I've had them for 2 years now, and I can't highly reccomned them highly enough.

if i were you i would go to the local high end audio shop and try these for a while - maybe 20 mins? if you notice any discomfort at all in that time, be aware it *will* magnify over another hour, so consider that.

My son just bought the Audio-Technica ATHM50RD, and I give the Audio-Technica the edge sonically. It is more spacious sounding, and I find it to be more detailed. Of course the B&W; is much more beautifully built and looks far superior. But for the sounds and comfort I definitely prefer the Audio-Technica.

Sorry for the Late reply:( I can wear them for a few hours but then I do require a break from themI lost the second pair of ear mits so I'm not sure how they would compare.

I don't think any headphones are comfortable to wear for a long time. But I've worn the BOSE noiseless, and I would say these are pretty up there. I take trans-Pacific flights (10-13 hours), so that means I've worn these for about 15 hour stretches. I wouldn't say I didn't feel they were there, but think of the alternatives (tremendous engine/air conditioning noise). So these are definitely a must-have! Also, I don't believe in buying any headsets over $120 or $150 unless you're a snobby "audiophile." So these are your best bet!

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 ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!

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.

Hey Nick.I purchased these a few weeks ago, and I can tell you these headphones are extremely comfortable.I am a music producer, and It's frequent for me to spend 6+ locked down making music. I can tell you I've worn the HD 558 and after a while, you don't even notice you're wearing them.I highly recommend them.Hope it helps you.Cheers.
