I wear a small hat size, and I do not have much hair. The Panasonic headphones fit me OK and I like the cushion they put on the top connecting band. I do not have any knowledge about the Sony headphones.

After using it for a month and a half, I am impressed with the sound quality offered by this headphone. Comfort is not that great as I feel pain on my ears after using it continuously for 30 minutes (my head size is medium). But this is good for workout as the headband is so tight that it will not fall out. I would recommend this to a person with small to medium head size. Person with large head should stay away. Battery is great. No issues so far.

Hi Ryan,I have small ears and I have the same problem with earbuds.This doesn't go all the way in the ear canal,so it works great.I'm a truck driver,so I spend alot of time on the phone in a loud enviroment.I never have any complaints about background noise,which I have had with prior headsets.Also,it has a great volume controll.I really think it'll work great for you.It comes with 3 sizes of ear pieces,and even tough I have a small ear canal,I found the medium was the best for me.Try it,I think you'll like it,and you sure can't beat this price.I paid $89.

Not very. Comfortable with glasses. Seem to be a good balance between comfort and tight if you don't want tight cans. Too loose for me though. I like the bass and brightness of tight headphones. I gave these to my son (who wears glasses) because I actually wanted tighter cans. I found I had to have my hands pushing them tighter to get better sound. It all depends on how picky your ear is. He loves them and wears them everywhere, all day.

the Sony headphones are not very good, in my experience; I use Koss KSC75 which are perfect for me--I don't like a headband and I don't like earbuds, and the Koss has soft, flat pads that lay across my ears, with just a lightweight hook over the back of the ear. The sound quality is excellent.

As far as comfort goes, it is adequate for prolonged use. I have kept them on for like 2-3 hours at a stretch; when I removed them from my ears, they don't give a "pain" that some headphones give. And yes the triangular shape will surely fit a woman's ears.

They are a really tight and sturdy. I wouldn't have thought that sleeping with these would be comfortable, but after trying it I could see how it could work. They squeeze your head quite a bit, so you might have marks when you wake up.Sideways isn't going to be comfortable for a large headphone like this unless you have deep soft down-like pillows. If you sleep on your back or let your head tilt slightly you could cut out sound while listening to music. For sleeping on your side you are probably better off with ear plugs (no music) or ear bud headphones (no external sound filtering). They are a really tight and sturdy.

No, its too small and too tight unless you have a tiny head. I would guess this is better just based on my orevious experience of senhiser vs other brands but it probably comes down to taste.

I have a very large head (I just measured it as about 24.5 inches in circumference, or "XX-Large" according to a hat site), and I wear glasses. I find other cheap headsets extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I'd actually log off of voice communications with my friends because my ears hurt.But I find these headphones very comfortable and frequently wear them for hours without even noticing. I would recommend anyone with a big head give them a try; be aware that you might need to wear them for a while before they loosen up a bit. Also position them so that your ears are entirely inside the cups. The cups measure a little more than 2 inches by 2 inches, square, on the inside.

I can't say since I've used them only for listening to vinyl or CD's for an hour or two at each sitting. I believe that for a closed pad style phone they are very comfortable but I am thinking back to the days of the heavy closed phones by Koss or Superex which were very uncomfortable. What is your priority; good sound or comfort? If comfort is your priority you might want a smaller semi-closed type headphone. If you can compromise these are a fine choice. As others have said, expect these to improve in sound - a more balanced response - over time.

I would say that they're better than the Skull Candy Aviators, and just about the same as the Sony MDRs, although the Sennheisers might have slightly better bass and clearer highs. The only downside to the Sennheisers is that they don't isolate at all; you can hear what's going on around you. Super comfortable, though. Highly recommended.

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

They are a bit big for a smaller head. I have a big head myself but lucky adjusted them to fit. Some of my friends who had smaller heads, The headphones fitted just fine.

To me they're a little small on the ears, and I don't have big ears. I have a set of Sony MDR's and they fit well over my ears but these aren't quite as spacious.Also I prefer headphones of this type to be a little heavier. These are relatively light weight for this price of headphones. Some people like light ones and if that's what you're looking for there are lighter ones but these are relatively lightweight as compared to, say, Sony MDR's.

If that's measured through your head then I'd say no. And you don't have a small head, you have a big head. But if your head is at least 4" wide, out to out at the ears, then you will surely have a comfortable fit.

Yes, I wear this headset with two different pairs. One has a very thin light metal frame, and the other has rather thick rubbery ear grips. Obviously the thinner the frame the more comfortable you'll be, but you shouldn't have any issues with even a wider pair in your first hour of constant use. You can always lift the ear grips above the headphone cups so they don't pinch your head too hard. Looks a bit dorky, but feels nice.

I own both the XS and the M50. Personally I use the XS for travel and the M50 at home. They both have a great sound but the M50 is flat and doesn't add anything to the music (which is good for mixing and recording). But the XS adds a warm signature to the music, it also boosts the bass a bit too. The M50 is bigger and may take up more space in a bag, and the XS is really tiny. The XS on the head is pretty comfortable, but after wearing it for an hour it gets a little sore on my ears (but after an hour it is understandable). The M50 however, makes the top of my head hurt after around 30-45 minutes, and I have to take it off due to the pain. It's really weird but I think the cushion placement in the headband is a little flawed. They are both outstanding headphones, up to you if you don't mind a bigger fit or a smaller conforming fit.
