Can the plastic on this headphone melt from acetone? How comfortable is it?

Just curious, how would acetone end up on your headphones? For what it is worth, these headphones are kind of crappy. They are very hard to hear with one ear.

I have no idea what effects acetone would have on these. The comfort level is nice though.

Never had that problem. It's comfortable enough. Not the best sound quality though.

You will need an extremely light and flexible cord, and be willing to destroy the headphones attempting to open them up and solder. I did as much to my MDR-V600 headphones a while back, I was thankful I had a hot-glue-gun to fix the new wires to the wire-opening in the headset. And they did not have circuit-boards in them, it was just the speakers. Not a simple task, and your headset may have more then just a "R+, L+, Common" set of wires to replace. if it has microscopic "surface-mount" stuff, forget it, that can't be done with a stick-soldering-iron without killing the "SMT chips". Done that a few times. As for the cord, I found some speaker wire is soft and flexible for less then a year, then it gets stiff. Thinner wires tug to shreds easily. So good headphone cord is an impossible find as of this writing. I've resigned to replacing the cord on my MDR-V600 headset every six months to keep the speaker-wire soft and usable. At-least the MDR-V600 cord now survives being run over by my office chair on occasion. Best of luck, as that is All I can offer for advise.

It is in general comfortable and cool. But there is a moulded bumper along the top band which becomes a little pressing after some time. Compared with the AKG K240 I own, this one is a little bit behind in terms of long term wearing comfort.

Hi Nicole, I've been able to use the headphones for long gaming sessions without issues with glasses. My ears do get a tad on the warm side at times. I love the cord it's not rubber, but a blue mesh material cord cover.

It certainly looks and feels like leather. I use them a lot and the headband is very comfortable. If it wasn't leather, I believe it would be showing some wear by now. The sound is great for the price.

Hard to answer for someone else. I've read complaints about the bumps on the headband, but I don't even notice them. The ear pads are foam covered in a soft material. The pressure feels very gentle to me and I don't find them hot, even on the hottest summer days.

The construction is all plastic as far as I can tell. However, you're right in your thinking; because the ear cups are so large and round, the pillow or cushion will likely push them up on your head. From my experience it isn't a huge deal, from a comfort or listening perspective, but this is not my primary way of listening. So use your best judgment.

I had to have mine replaced after less than a month. The volume/skip controls were the reason I had it replaced. The connector rusted I think. With my current ones I have been very careful in protecting them from direct skin contact. 3 months later and still good. I really don't think they are sweat resistant.

I have mine for a month or two and I love it. But it is true that the case seems weak so I am very careful . I even left the protrectrice film-coat on top. I have good headphones 120 db and I adore the sound. Goodbye.

I have not tried it. The earphones are great except trying to clean them, I don't know if I took them off wrong but now the cover slips off all the time, except when I wear them.

I can't tell from your question and other people's answers if you are asking if this will itself deform over time or if this will cause the headphone to bend. If you are asking about the latter, answer is now since you would just rest your headphone on top. There's nothing forcing down the headphone to take the shape of the holder. Unless your headphone has an extremely small radius headband that is

burn in is useful on all headphones and earbuds, what have you. It's not a problem thing, it's a thing to get the cone burned in and fully responsive.

I've had no problem with sweat affecting the usb or any other part of the headphones. These headphones have had a four to six month life cycle in my experience, and sweat may be a factor in that. Still for the price, I think that lifespan is pretty acceptable.

Good question!I've never had any problems with sweat causing any malfunction.I live in the tropics of Australia, hence I'm sweaty most of the time.So I would say the headphone is water proof.Hugh

It is a little hard to tell by the picture but it has really nice foam filled neoprene inserts which feel like memory foam on your head and the headphone drivers itself are made of higher quality foam so they are quite comfortable. It's bot that cheap foam ears that tend to get itchy after listening for extended periods of time. I hope this answers your question :)

I haven't tried that, though I did use it while laying out a brick walk in the fall. Jarring the headset made no difference in the sound, and I didn't notice that my ears got uncomfortably sweaty. Those are the two issues I would be worried about.

I would say no. I have been wearing mine less than an hour sitting down relaxing and my ears are pretty hot. I can only imagine sweating with them on. I have my sony ear "buds" (I don't really consider them earbuds though) that work well. I've owned them in three different colors over the last few years and definitely prefer them.
