Do ear cups result discomfort after wearing for more than a certain time?

I'd have to say that varies from individual to individual. I'm a lover of fancy headphones and I'd say these cans are among the best cordless in this price range. I've worn them for long periods, specifically an hour or two at a time, without complaint and my ears are easily made uncomfortable. For example, I can't wear earbuds at all because they cause me headaches. I hope this helps.

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 have normal size ears, from what I can tell, and I can feel the ear cups of the PSB's on the edges of my ears a little. Doesn't bother me at all though.

These are pretty comfortable on the ears. Sometimes, if I have worn them for an extended time. my ears get a little sore, but I wear glasses with glass lenses so that soreness may well be a result of the glasses rather than the ear phones. If there is a way that you could test these headphones, you should do so. I am very pleased with them.

YES. This problem is the main reason I don't wear these earbuds anymore. They sit in a drawer...waste of money.

I have behind-the-ear hearing aids now, and find these uncomfortable. I'd recommend looking for another set with a larger cup.

Yes for around 30minute to an hour after that your ears would start hurting

I wear these over glasses and ear buds connected to my iPod. They fit kind of tight. They work great, but after a couple hours of yard work my ears are begging for some air. The head band is a strong flexible plastic material. I've tried to bend it to loosen up the fit but without any luck. The ear pads do slide up and down to adjust the fit vertically but there is no way to adjust horizontally for the pressure against the ears. I guess the comfort will depend on how wide your head is and how long you wear them.

Not sure if my ears are bigger than most, but the pads do rest on parts of my ears. However, the foam they are made of is stupidly comfortable and I find I can wear them even longer than most headphones where the pads clear the ears entirely. They also do a good job of keeping the harder internal parts on the unit from resting on your ears, which is normally the things that makes headphones uncomfortable for me after a time.

I wear them a lot at work, bout 8 hours a day 5 days a week. They are horrible. They hurt really bad after about an hour. I now have red parts on the ears because of the irritation they cause. I would suggest using them for a limited time or buy some in the ear earbuds.

Well the ear cups are a very nice mesh that keeps air going to your ears for coolness. They are warm after wearing them for a few minutes

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

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

Well I wear glasses and they don't seem to bother much. But I have to wiggle them around to get my ears inside the cups or they are uncomfortable to wear for long.

Due to the large ear cups, wearing glasses with these headphone for an extended period of time can be uncomfortable.

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.

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.

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