Are these comfortable? I have small ears and most of them either are too big or hard as a rock I like to sleep with them, on my side. Also are these compatible for iPad 2?

I think they're comfortable. No complaints from me. It does come with different size silicone pieces so hopefully one will fit.

Yes, these are very comfortable and work with the iPad as well as the iPod. I bought a set for my husband, one for me, and a spare and love them.

I also have very small ears & I din't find these to be comfortable. The ouside piece pressed into my ear; not the canal where the silicone tips goes, but the ridge of the ear outside. I've bought at least 5 different top-rated earbuds here on Amazon & all have been painful. I tried Skullcandy, JVC, Panasonic, iPhone, etc. But, I've just purchsed the JLabs JBuds J6 style, and they fit! The J6 style came with 7 sized tips, and the smallest ones actually worked for me. They cost considerably more then these, but well worth it to me to have comfortable earbuds.

I thought they were really comfortable, and they are not hard. I bought mine for my iPhone. So they may be compatible for an iPad.

For sleeping, I'd recommend SleepPhones by Acoustic Sheep. They aren't ear buds, they're washable headbands with flat speaker inserts. They're the most comfortable headphones I've used.

I have small ears as well, so I'm always using the smallest adapters available, and at times, some of them are too big. That said, these fit me well, when using the smallest adapters. You have to make sure you use the smallest "wheel", and the smallest actual headphone cover. Also, make sure to use the rubber headphone covers and opposed to the "felt" cover. This combination works perfect for my small ears. I can wear these easily for 5 hours without them becoming uncomfortable, but after that, you do start to feel them, but for me anyway, that's the case with all earphones.

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.

First and foremost, it's not that great for your ears to fall asleep to music with headphones on, regardless of what type they are. But to answer your question, I've found that they're quite comfortable to lay down on. When I'm laying on my side with them, they feel a bit fragile, but there's little to no pressure at all.

no there is no way to adjust them, again keep in mind, if your device isNOT directly in front of you within two feet,that means NOT in your pocket, itwill get annoying distortion... if you hold your devicein front of you, you will be fine.they come with these little pieces that make them snugin your ears, but NOTHING for head support..you may want to look elsewhere.....

Totally over the ear and quite comfortable. I have Parrot Zik Headphones also, but my Creatives are my go to phones because they are more versatile. Parrot Ziks are great but without the app they are nothing. This is ok for me because I use them exclusively with my iPad(3rd gen). Creative is the way to go. Parrot are great but again you have to have the app which is free at iTunes. Bye.

They are a really tight and sturdy. I wouldn't have thought that sleeping with these would be comfortable, but after trying it I could see how it could work. They squeeze your head quite a bit, so you might have marks when you wake up.Sideways isn't going to be comfortable for a large headphone like this unless you have deep soft down-like pillows. If you sleep on your back or let your head tilt slightly you could cut out sound while listening to music. For sleeping on your side you are probably better off with ear plugs (no music) or ear bud headphones (no external sound filtering). They are a really tight and sturdy.

More comfortable than a pair of Beats, I suppose, but....I'm not sure if I would advise sleeping on your side with something jammed into your ear in any set of circumstances...

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???

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.

I have tiny ears, and they feel a little big if I don't have them adjusted correctly on top of my head. I'm not really sure how to judge if "big ears" would fit, LOL. However; that's one thing that attracted me to them is because they weren't so big and clunky. I'm sorry I don't have a good answer for you. I kind of think they may be a bit small for bigger ears. You can check them out at "Brookstone" if you have one nearby. They had a different model on display which is the same size. Hope this helps.

Yes, I've worn them for sleeping for a few years now due to noisy neighbors. They are comfortable with multi-hour use; sometimes a new pair can seem a bit large when first worn (hurting my ear a bit, but I have small ears). If this happens, I just pull them out a bit and all is well. And they do stay in all night if you insert them according to the directions on the package (pull ear up and back, roll the plug tightly and insert). I don't know what I'd do without these, they are a lifesaver as far as my sleep!

At first I thought they were not comfortable. After day one I realized i was just not used to having huge headphones on my head. I have since gotten used to them and think they are very comfortable. That being said, I still can't where them for more than 2hrs at a time. After extended use, I will take them off for a couple of minutes, walk around and put them back on with no problem.

We have an iPad 2 and the headphones worked great. we didn't have a problem.

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.

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

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!)
