How many hours can you wear these? I use them for studying but pressure builds up and my ears hurt.

I only wear them while practicing at the range so my wear time is less than 30 minutes. For this purpose, they are fine.

I have warn them for 4 hours without too much discomfort. They are well padded, and my ears fit completely inside the cups, so nothing is pressing on them.

I have used these for over four consecutive hours without too much added discomfort. I think these are one of the more comfortable sets on the market. Great specs for the cost.

At most 4 hours. But if you want pin drop silence wear ear plugs with them too.

I wrote a review on this product. I think the quality is good but they're sized so small that I couldn't wear them. They wouldn't "adjust" enough to fit comfortably over my ears and they were tight like a vise. My advice? Go to a sporting goods or a Home Depot store, find a pair you want to buy and try them on before you buy them. I bought mine for the shooting range and finally found a pair I liked at Cabela's.

I wear them 3-4 hours with no problem. Maybe take breaks? If you're wearing glasses, they might need adjusting.

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes).Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose).I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

I am buying them specifically for air travel. They not only block noise, they help with pressure changes during ascending and descending. They fit deep enough that you can wear headphones over them. My daughter (age 11) and I wear them on all our flights specifically for the pressure changes. Our flights average 3 hours and they are very comfortable.

I'm not sure what the benefit to that would be? The product packaging suggests "working up to wearing them for an hour at a time" -- I'm not a doctor, only a consumer, but I can't imagine where extended (i.e. multi-hour) wearing is going to get you any significant "greater benefit." I don't find them "that" comfortable, so sleeping in them doesn't sound enjoyable, but I'm sure it's possible...

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.

I don't get a headache, but I just don't find them comfortable after prolonged use. I would definitely not use these for prolonged use. I can't imagine a better quality microphone at this price, though.

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 have worn them for very extended periods. 1 hour on the train conected to iPhone followed by 3 hours worth for conference calls connected to laptop. I never have discomfort. Can't sleep or nap with them at all unfortunately.

I'm experiencing ear pain when I wear it more than an hour. Planning to return it.

These headphones are pretty adjustable. And I have a pretty big head and they are just right/almost a lil snug for me. If they begin to give me a headache after 3 or 4 hours of scoring and mixing, then they should be comfortable for you for much much longer.

I don't use the phones very often so I am not testing their durability in anyway. They did test my durability when I recently used them on a cross-country flight. They became uncomfortable in my ears after a few hours. I had to remove them after about 4 hours.

I don't know. I literally wore them about 5 minutes in a quiet room. After that I put them up and haven't used them since.

I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights. They do in fact sound great and diminish external noise just by the way they fit. However, they are not Noise Canceling headphones and have no electronic technology that diminshes external noise like the low hum of an airplane's jets. Moreover, the strength of the metal headband and the firmness of the ear cups can cause discomfort on the ears if the headphones are worn for an extended period of time (1.5+ hours). I would recommend that you search for headphones that have high ratings for comfort as well as noise canceling abilities. I would not recommend these headphones for longer flights.

The head phones hurt my eares too much to wear them longer than 10 minutes so I'm not sure. Good luck!

The headphones give excellent sound quality--no argument! Lovely sound quality! However, they are heavy and the band would start irritating the top of my head if I wore them for more than an hour or so. Even when I tried to adjust them, they would still start hurting the top of my head. I ended up giving them away because i couldn't figure out how to use them for long periods of time. If you need them only for short periods they should be great. If for long periods, you might do better with something else.

I wear these for a couple of hours at a time, and the only discomfort I experience is that the earcups press on the temples of my glasses, eventually causing them to hurt (like the glasses are too tight on my head). Taking the headphones off for about 10 min or so alleviates the pressure, and I'm good for a couple more hours.If I don't wear my glasses, I have no issues at all.
