For those with small ears? How do these rate among other people with small ears?

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.

My kid is 13 and wears them ALL the time and says they are comfortable. I'm not sure about bigger ears or head. He's probably about average head size and ears.

It depends. These headphones are really great quality in sound, despite such a cheap price. If you have these on on full blast on lets say, an Ipod: then people will hear you, BUT, only if they are REALLY close to you. But if you have these at a medium level of sound, nobody will hear them. I wear these in public a lot on full blast sometimes and no one has made a comment or asked me to turn them down. So its fine :)

I have gotten used to them and I can wear them for two to three hours without problem. For me, these headphones did not seem to be difficult to wear for two/three hours. I can wear them longer than I can tolerate the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (which after a while tend to make my ears sweaty). But do keep in mind this is dependent on the individual, just because these headphones work for me it does not mean they will work for everyone. It is easy to forget that every person has a different head size, differently shaped ears, and perhaps many other subtle differences that are hard to see in a review. I admit that it is hard finding comfortable headphones; you kind of have to try them for a while and see if you accommodate/tolerate them. One thing I do know, if they do hurt your ears do look for something else. It doesn't matter if they sound good but you can't wear them, then they are no good to you. Sometimes it is worth to visit a real store and try many headphones and see if there is a pattern in terms of comfort and fit. But if I do visit a store, I feel compelled to buy from the store to remain fair to the fact that I use the store to test and try out the product.

To be honest, I'm not sure. For myself, I tend toward smaller earbuds in general so I would think I would classify my ears as adult small or medium. The large fit seems to fit just fine and are comfortable. I've never tried the standard fit to compare though.

No doubt, they do work really well for ears. Just be clean about it. It literally took me like 2 minutes to do just one ear. And like 20 seconds for my friend to do the other.

1. They're comfortable. I've worn them to a number of concerts and have yet to remove them due to discomfort. 2. I have average ears and they fit well. 3. At concerts, I often insert and remove the plugs to see exactly what I'm missing in terms of fidelity and volume. I find that I always end up listening to the songs with them in. 4. Save your ears! Get them!

Um, I don't know where Brian got his information, but I'll reinforce everybody else's statement that these are ON-EAR. Perhaps, maybe if you had really tiny ears, they miiight work like over-the-ears, but for >90% of people they'll be on-ear.

Unless you have small ears, these are ON ear. I don't have abnormally large ears, and they start to hurt after 30 minutes or so.

I don't think that these would be good for a small child. You really have to adjust the position of them in your ear. My ears are not hot and uncomfortable when I use these, but I have no idea if they "breathe".

I think ear size is the key. The pair that fit me best were a little tight and caused a little soreness after a few hours.

Grandma Kathy, Yes they do fit in small ears. Here is a way that I was shown online how to properly put in earbuds, so they won't fall out, and how to get the best bass response. Reach behind your head with your right hand and pull your left earlobe so that your left ear canal is widened. Gently put the plastic/rubber earpod, (whatever size fits best for you) head into the widened ear canal so that it goes all the way in. This shouldn't hurt if done gently. Slowly release your hand. Repeat procedure for the other ear. Your earbuds SHOULDN'T fall out, if done properly. I took a good two hour walk, and neither one even came close to falling out. They were very comfortable. I want you to fully enjoy the sound of these amazing headphones. Happy listening.

They're quite long. I have trouble finding a "sweet spot" with it, so it tends to cut into my ears a bit or fall off during the night. They're wide, though, so it's not a huge issue.

A bit. Only issue I have is that the earpieces fit tight against my ears and become uncomfortsble after an hour or So. Would be dependent someway on head size. For the price would still buy over the $$$ headphones

I think they will. I have smaller then average size ears as well, plus my 14 yr. old and 11 yr. old can wear them too.

Others have already responded about the length. What I'll add is that these are smaller than the typical earplugs, which is why I like them. I've tried others and they were too big and therefore uncomfortable. They are smaller and softer than the average earplugs.

Absolutely, I have small ears and have always had trouble with any bluetooth staying in my ear, it's amazing!!
