Do the cushions sit around the ear? I bought a set of headphones for my TV where the cushion sits around the ear but it was snug and hurt my outer ear

Yes, they are over-the-ear type and can cover your ears well. But please notice that they are wired headphones, not with bluetooth.

Yes they sit around ear, don't really touch your ears unless you have gigantic elf like ears. Also I would make sure to buy the ones with Bluetooth, not much more and it has controls on the headset.

Yes they fit on the ears. You can adjust them by pulling the cushions down. They are on a movable metal strip within the head rest.

Mine sit around the outside of my ears and I don't have dainty ears. I find them comfortable to wear but they can get a little warm.

I decided for the first time to not use the standard ear cushion and upgrade to the large size that it comes in. They stay in my ears and since its a full seal I couldn't hear anything else, at least clearly. I didn't test and see if it was noise isolating being in an area without any extra noise. I was always at the gym and couldn't really hear others.

They did with me but I have trouble wearing those type of earphones. However my friend did not have any problems with them.

These are my son's, he says they surround his ear, not just sit on top. Hope that helps

Like Nicco said, the ear pieces themselves are fine. The headrest can cause a bit of discomfort after a while, but slightly shifting the angle helps with that.

They actually go around the ear, so that your ear is inside the padding. So yes they do rest against the sides of your head.

They sit more than they go in the ear bud. Because of there plastic construction and not the flexible material that you can squish in your ear, they are not nearly as snug or tight as ear buds are. I find that I can position them to be more in my ear or have them sit at the ear opening depending on what I am doing. However, I do not find them uncomfortable for long stretches of time (i.e. 3+ hours).

I love EVERYTHING about the headphones EXCEPT they don't fit over my ears. My ears are 2.25 x 1.25 inches and the headphones have an inside diameter of 1.5 inches so they sit on the top part of my ear and hurt after about 10 minutes.

Contact BOSE directly - they will create a case for you and reply very quickly. I have fairly large ears ..and these go completely over the ears and barely touch my ears. So, they are designed to 'cup' over each ear and not sit on top as to crush or flatten the ear down like some will do;

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

There are other cushions being sold that are not the exact replacements, I was careful when I ordered to make sure I purchased only the exact replacement. The ones I recevied are absolutely by Bose and were the exact replacments. That reviewer must be mistaken in their comments or accidentally put their comments under the wrong set of ear cushions.

Unfortunately no however you can arrange them so that they fit over your ear rather snugly. I prefer this, as the plastic ear attachments have irritated me in the past. They also have inner ear hooks that are soft that help keep the headphones in place.

Let me add this after reading other's reviews. They actually cover most of the ear and the very comfortable padding sit on parts of your ear to be exact. I apologize if I gave you wrong information. But to me it just lays on my upper and very little on my ear lobes. You do NOT need th try to stretch them out with a pillow. You want them snug, but not to tight. If too loose you will lose the Bass part of songs. Find a comfortable pillow and lay back and enjoy the music. Over time the material will get use to your head size. Hope that explains it in my opinion.

They are contoured and for them to fit properly they must go over the ear not under. These are not tiny little ear buds that fit inside your ear. They are probably 1" long and 75% of that remains outside the ear. They also have some good weight to them and placing them over the ear gives you support and keeps them from hitting the ground if they are ever accidentally dislodged. I would hate to see a grown man cry because his $300 ear buds were damaged because they fell off and got damaged.

No, those particular set of ear cushions are only designed for the Bose QC3. We can not recommend they be used for any other brand/model headphones, nor do we test them with any other brand/models.

The ear buds come with two differently sized tips that cover the ear buds. There was a noticeable difference in size between the two tips, but I still found neither would allow the ear buds to securely rest in my ears.

I have to increase the size when I use it for longer durations, but that's for me with a big head. Generally though the headphones feel good, as the quality of the cushions around the ear is top. Enjoy them!
