i own a pair, and they hurt my ears physically (not bass). The longer they are on, the more my ears ache.. Any ideas?

Yes they do, the only thing I would suggest is to extend the headband (it will sit a little loose). FYI it is a matter of time before they snap. The headband is made from very cheap plastic. The sound is truly incredible but I wonder why they would decide to go with a cheap headband that will eventually snap. After reading the reviews on here I tried to be very careful with mine but they snapped anyway, so it is not how but rather when they decide to snap.

Mine are like that to... Yes they are a smaller built headphone and they are a little tight so I would try loosening them up a little bit or every 5 minutes take them off for 30 seconds.

I'm also experiencing discomfort. Sometimes slight pain in my ear and sometimes some kind of dizziness... I'm using Bose QC20 in-ear earplugs.

no, no they absolutely are not. I would say after an hour, at the most, your ears get really sore. I have relatively normal sized ears I believe so I can't imagine this is unique to me

I find them to be a bit of a pain to get into my ears, and once they are in, they begin to hurt after awhile. I assume that is because they are too big for my ear canal. I stopped using them and went back to another type of ear plug.

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

Yes, the complaints about these being uncomfortable are warranted. I've used my set for under an hour and I'm already looking to replace them. Be extra wary if you wear glasses while listening to these!

you will not hear a thing outside of those headphones. but i will be honest they make my ears sore from having them on long periods of time. great sound but a little stiff

The neck ones suck for exercising. They stay in your ears-but the neck band rubs against your clothes and you pick up the sound. It's really annoying. I found them unlistenable. I only tried them because I've been forced into wearing hats when I run (skin issues). Try the Sony MDR-AS35. I ordered a pair of Sennheiser (Adidas) PX 685i. They are over the head. Have not tried them yet (still using my Sony pair). The look like they may be great. Barr Hill

I personally have not had a problem with them hurting my ears due to their weight. I've had good luck with them so far. I like being able to adjust the tone as well as well as left to right balance...

They do a bit, but they are over-the-ear phones, so they tend to do that, and they might bother you. I have a pair of Klipsch of the same size and style, and they kill my ears as they press too hard, and the material is not soft enough.The material on the ML is so soft that you don't feel them to be as hard on your ears. If you have a big head (I do) they might not be great for hours of non-stop use. I love the sound and the feel of the material but I can't use them for more than 3 hrs straight. Of all the noise canceling phones that I have ever had (over 10), the best, and more comfortable to me are Bose. But again, it is just might be the shape of my head and ears :)

Have not had that problem with my pair. Usually that occurs when the cord is not twisted in properly. Otherwise I am not sure what the problem would be, probably the headphone rather than the plug if it's one side only.

No, my experience with this head set has been great. I haven't had a problem with them hurting my ears. They are very comfortable. My only problem is that the wire is too short but besides that I am very impressed

Hi I'm Glad you asked.. i got these and really liked them so almost instantly wrote my review. These have a really great sound but today I plug them in and the left one will not work.. i messed around with them for about thirty minutes before giving up. Keep in mind i bought my pair used. but up until they broke they worked/sounded great. my only complaint is the max volume wasnt all that loud.

I'll raise my hand here as well, I've also been through three pairs with the same issue and also love these earphones. Shure have been fantastic in replacing them for free under warranty. Sadly my most recent pair were lost on a flight, tempted to order these again but would love a pair that doesn't lose sound in one ear and stay in the ear when exercising. Any suggestions?

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

I have small ears so after 3 hours or so of non stop use, I get tired. But my friend who has bigger ears can wear them longer. As for them being bright. I think that if you put the gain to 0 or every music you play isnt fluffed you will get true sounds. Not too much bass or mids or highs. Compared to Seinheissers which I love, its a close 2nd to those and those are amazing
