Better earphones? I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some that are more comfortable?

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to. Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones

Yes, I have to admit earbuds aren't very comfortable because they lack a good ergonomic design, i.e., comfort that you have with traditional headphones. They suit the purpose of a hands-free device.

It depends on the type of earphone you have. If you have low impedance (resistance) phones which most of the affordable ones are you will be o. k. some higher resistance = higher priced may work but maybe not as loud as you want. Also computers and laptops differ in output strength. But go for it as it is affordable and the sound is immaculate.

I wish I could be of more help. I bought these headphones for my nephew for a Christmas present, so I won`nt know until he uses them. I read those reviews too and was somewhat dubious but we`ll find out after the holiday. I wish I could have been more help.

Hello northcountry, Did you ever find earphones that were adequate to compensate for your hearing problem? I have the same problem and am still searching. Thank you, Jube

These headphones would be better than your average headphones, but I think your best bet would be noise cancelling earbuds like the ones you can get with a samsung galaxy s3.

Two words....Shure Earbuds, I have the low end ear buds and even they are pricey ($100) but they are WELL worth the price!

Solution...Get a quality set of Headphones, not the crappy ones that come in the box, either buds or over the ear...rip in a lossless format....ALAC, AIFF or WAV....not the compressed crappy MP3 format and you will be amazed at the difference!For quality set of buds....look here...UltimateEars.com

They aren't overly comfortable, if you want something super comfortable go with Beyerdynamic honestly they are better headphones.

i have a sennheiser and i still use it cause there is quality in it too.but there is no comparison cause if i can go back in time i would have bought Bose QuietComfort.and it really helps when you are in an airplane if there is a kid crying you would hear nothing. ^_^

this was one of my complaints about these headphones, they just aren't as loud as other comparable headphones. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, it's the phones themselves.

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!

These are pretty much 'reference' earphones - so they will sound almost exactly as the audio is mastered (generally will sound flat in their response). If you want punchier bass, go for the cheaper SE-315 which are optimized for low-end/bass.

That's not really what they are designed for. They don't "plug in" your ear canal like earbuds do.So I'd say "better" than the kind that sit on your outer ear, but not as thoroughly as earbuds.Somewhere in between.

They're great at noise reduction, but I only have other in ear headphones as a point of reference, so I don't know they compare to something like bose.

Over ear! Still miss these headphones, even though my current ones sound better.
