I struggle with allergy to the foam. Any thoughts on the ear buds with foam removed? Would the be comfortable?

Sorry to hear you are having an issue. You might try a different type of pad. These headphones are great, but I also find them uncomfortable even with the foam. You might try the Koss headphones if these don't work for you. Good Luck!

These ear buds are really large and the foam cover is very thin. I removed the foam (hoping the buds would fit my ears better) and the sound was still fine. For me the fit was still very poor.

It is very very light. i just tried removed the foam after you question, i don't feel anything i wore headphone. You can definitely have this. You will feel only when cord is hanging if you dont clip it.

It seems pretty comfortable for me. The buds are nice and round and fit well into my ears.

I don't think these would be comfortable at all. I highly recommend having something cover that hard plastic.

I personally can't get them to be comfortable in my ears to begin with. If you don't mind things being inserted into your ears, i'm sure they would be fine. I find that they do not stay around my ears very well. I love the concept of them, but I am finding it difficult to use them for this reason.I will say the sound quality is great, and i've used them while on the phone and all the people i've spoken to said that they can hear me perfectly and never would have known that I was on a headset and not speaking directly into the phon.

It is a little hard to tell by the picture but it has really nice foam filled neoprene inserts which feel like memory foam on your head and the headphone drivers itself are made of higher quality foam so they are quite comfortable. It's bot that cheap foam ears that tend to get itchy after listening for extended periods of time. I hope this answers your question :)

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job

Yes, there are better ear buds, but you have to make them yourself.I took a piece of 1/2'' foam rubber, cut out a small circle, just large enough to extend beyond the ear phones. Remove the original ear bud, But not the plastic part. Poke a small hole in your foam piece and force it down over the ear phone. If you use a soft foam this should be more comfortable.

Kinda depends on how high your volume is, and how tightly they fit over your head. The foam stops most of the noise, so it shouldn't be problematic for those around you. Hope this helps you decide.

I feel more comfortable with the swim cap, but I have worn them without. I guess it depends on how comfortable you feel. Wearing the swim cap gave me a sense of security that the ear buds wouldn't come out.

No ... and that was a concern when I ordered the buds because I have had problems with long term use of other buds while gaming. I did have to get use to the wider and louder range of the buds (I had to adjust my settings)but so far they seem comfortable for long term use.

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.

Yes. I have had a problem with every pair of ear buds I have ever bought, no matter how cheap or expensive. They always hurt my ears. These ear buds dont hurt my ears at all. I wear them a lot and they are very comfortable.

I think they are great. I've never worn them for more then 5-6 hours I think. They really silence out all noise. Hard to hear much of anything other your music. Don't feel plastic to me. Nice cushioned ear buds. Really feel like marshmallows Or earplugs.

These are not "Wax proof". Your ear produces wax as a way to clean out the ear, and it moves it out to get rid of the dirt. that is why regular inspection and cleaning if needed is just part of owning in-ear-monitors. These are not meant for long life (silicone lasts longer), that is why you buy a pack and use until they start to get nasty, or the foam fails to return to shape, then replace with the next set. The foam tends to fit better for longer wearing, and fit a range of ears better than say the silicone. As far as the comparison, I have not tried them (Comply), and the other brand seems to offer different foam densities, which could impact seal and comfort i guess. When you see "wax guard" or "wax proof", that means there is a small screen used, and to some this can modify the sound, again to what effect, I think everyone if different on their perceptions of sound, I have not needed them. I hope that helps.

try this---use the silicone buds, but moisten the tips before insertion to your ears. put them in as far as possible for a totally air-tightseal, and they will sound completely different. Not necessarily rcommended, but I lick mine before insertion.

Some really uncomfortable ones. They are ear buds. Not the in ear kind too.

I called up the manufacturer because my dog ate some of the ear bud tips. They sent me a bunch at no charge. My best guess is that they'll work with you. Regarding the sound deterioration, I haven't yet had that problem although I've been using mine for about a year. I have found that minuscule amounts of water in your ears end up inside the ear buds and destroy especially the lows. Putting moisturizer in my ears before a swim keeps a tight seal.

You need to find the perfect fit of buds to avoid getting water in your ears. I use the medium ones and I have no problem with water in my ears

Having the same problem but that's the difference between an ear bud and a full headset. The weight of the unit is pulling the unit down against the ears causing the discomfort.For the price, one would like a little more comfort. I tried this...along with the ear hooks, I attached a small lanyard to the unit and then put that around my neck to pick up some of the weight of the unit.Pressure relief about 60%. Helps when watching long period movies.Good luck
