Are they only for use on the left ear? I I need to use the headphone on my right ear because I'm deaf in my left ear.

They say they are for the left ear but they work on either ear. I routinely swap ears every couple of hours because my ear starts to hurt.

I have successfully switched ears, Left and Right. It fits the same over either ear no difference in comfort. Shaped to fit over either ear.Good sound and quality, as good as others for noise cancellation. This uses a 1/4" stereo plug, a $3 adapter lets you plug it into other devices (computer and whatever) that use the smaller yet standard 3.5mm. Only negative comment I have is the same for all Over the Ear with Noise cancellation headphones; after a couple of hours of continuous use, MY ear gets a bit sweaty, but thats mostly because there is no airflow with this type of unit. That's why I switch ears.I do recommend them and would buy them again. I have successfully switched ears, Left and Right. It fits the same over either ear no difference in comfort.

Same here, virus about 25 years ago totaled the left ear. I use it for my right ear with an ipod (adapter jack needed, a couple of bucks), works great. Don't hesitate.

Try turning the earphones around on your head, so that the pod now in you left ear goes on you right ear etc. The "receiver" part of my headphones seem to get better reception when one side faces the transmitter than when the other side faces the transmitter

Both the HBC100s that I have both ears work fine. You ight need to adjust where you have it in your helmet. I know with my Joe Rocket helmet that I do need to move my helmet just a bit to hear the left ear correctly.

I have tried with mic om either side and sound is the same. I preferably wear mic in my left ear. I don't think it really matter, its just preference.

I have not tried a headphone, however with my electronic experience, I believe that with your standard stereo headphones, the sound will come from only one of the earpieces. Radio Shack may have an adapter plug that could send sound to both left & right channels. You must keep in mind that this radio is one channel referred to as MONO, whereas STEREO is two channels. Hope this clarifies your question.

I don't see any way they'd be able to be worn under the ear. The ear hooks only go one direction - over the ear. I don't like anything even remotely uncomfortable and the over the ear portion is absolutely comfortable while I'm both upright and lying down on my side. I see that one owner has a different opinion from the rest of us. If you're unsure of which one of us is right and whether or not this is even a matter of opinion, I'd suggest calling Shure directly before purchasing - they're very helpful.

No, these are "on ear" headphones. They just rest on your ears, they don't go over the ears.

No, these have the equal length cables on both sides. These are very good headphones, the sound gets better after they break in (about 10 -20hrs of use).

Hi Kathryn K. My headphones worked well for about 6 months. Then left side start being mute, if I want to hear from it, than I have to tap it few times and then it works for a while and then it will mute itself again. To expensive for these kind of problems. But I guess it is to late to do something about it.

I never tried that but using them when listening to music keeps most noise out. Someone really has to get my attention for me to answer them. For music, this headphone sounds great.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke.If you find that out let me know. TksClaudia

Nikita, I always had at least one out, but it would get a little tender because of the way I would have the wires up over the tops of my ears. It was probably just me. As I said in my review, my main issue with them was that the sound in the left ear kept cutting out.

Hi. Mine pair works in stereo (that is separate sound in both ears) just fine. Sounds like a faulty headphone to me.

Yes you can use headphones. There are two 1/8 phone jacks on the one end of the device. One is for connecting a supplied interface cable to a USB port, the other for headphones. For what you pay these are okay. As you can tell there is no display (not that I'd expect one for this price) and the only playback mode is sequentially. I use this when I'm exercising or doing yard work and it works well for that purpose.

If you see left and right earphones, then it's stereo. This way you won't need to ask again about another headset. ;)

they are a 2.5mm jack, which means they are NOT a standard headphone size, so no. You need a 3.5mm headphone set.

You should return your headphones. Mine are alike on both sides. They sound great btw.
