Any experiences with wearing them on your neck? I'd like a pair of headphones I can wear at work but not fully take off when someone is here.

They're wider than Bluetooth ear bud style, so they might get annoying if you wear them around your neck too long. They stay on pretty good if you just slide them off your ears. People might find that rude when you interact with them.

Don't usually wear them there...but they are very light...don't see any reason why you couldn't "rest" them on your neck occasionally

The headphones are quite comfortable when resting on your neck. I could hear people speaking even while they we covered my ears with the volume on low.

Hi Thomyi, I wouldn't use it if I were you. It is an open back headphone so there will be a lot of sound leak and your colleagues might not be too comfortable with that. Try getting some iem or closed back headphones.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it. They make my head warm when I'm sitting at the office using them. Also, the material may soak up sweat and lead to a foul odor after a period of time. I would get a good pair of quality athletic ear buds for the gym.

Lol. They're not real tight, but the'll likely still cause a small dip. The dip could probably be easily worked out with a comb. I think it is worth the hair comb because they are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn and also the clearest.

It really depends on how loud your music is. They do isolate sound very well, I admit. For someone to catch my attention they have to yell my name or physically touch me when I have the headphones in my ear at medium loudness. My advice is to just be careful and rely on sight while using them.

Not any longer on these. For a few bucks, just buy a cord extender. That way you can leave the extender at your desk and take the headphones wherever you need to go.

They work like a collar or necklace with ear buds attached so sweat around the neck might be an issue. The biggest issue for me is the static or cutting out that occurs with much motion.

I think it depends on your specific environment, but generally speaking, I think you would have no issues wearing them for a full day. I work in an office building and wear my Earasers occasionally. Nothing is muffled when I wear them, it really is like someone just turned the volume down of the world... Voices, phones, TV, etc remain crystal clear, just quieter. As for wearing them all day: I've worn mine for about 4 hours with no irritation or pain at all, so I don't think all day would be a problem.

Thats a personal preference question. Could it be done? Yes. Would I find it comfortable personally, no. I think they would be too large, however, I've seen people working out with large headphones on so its a personal preference.

It really depends on how sensitive your ears are. I wouldn't recommend wearing them all day. I think you will by satisfied with the product. They don't feel cheap. You will be able to hear the music just fine but don't expect " Beats by Dre" quality. Not sure how long they will last.

I wear them when riding my mower and when using the leaf blower. Some noise comes through, but I can still hear my music fine. They are bulkier than noise canceling but comfortable. For the price they are worth trying for flight travel. Hope this helps.

Can't really rest them on my neck with comfort. I tried them walking around in an airport but found them a little bulky, hard to keep up with what's going on around me. Love the sound and use them a lot in coffee shops.

That is my wife's only gripe about my SR80s. I get shooed out of the room when wearing them or asked to put on my Bose's (which don't sound as good, and probably cost twice as much, they were a gift). When I wore them in an office environment, nobody ever asked me to take them off, but so many of the guys were always talking on the phone it may have just never bothered anyone.

Actually, they are not meant to be worn over your head. They hang under your chin. Seems awkward at first. But I got used to it fast and the quality of the sound is too good not to keep using them!

There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports. In an office/cubicle environment I would think they would work out well, especially if you dont blast your music trying to blow out your own ears. From checking them out earlier (admittedly putting them over a rolled up blanket with volume set at about 65%) I could barely hear any leakage from more than a couple feet away.If you do end up getting these and using them at work I would suggest you get a cable extension (at least a couple feet) so you would have more freedom to move about in your workspace There is minor sound leakage to the outside world, however no one seems to have complained when I wear them at work, or in the airports.
