I like to lie down and listen to audio books or music. Are these ear pads comfortable? the headband? or will they "bite" or pinch?

Very comfortable, no biting or pinching. Super light. That's specifically why i bought these

I ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!

These headphones are slim. The padding is cushy. I find them pretty comfortable. They've not pinched me and I've used this particular model for years. I've bought a few pairs as they wear out. Hope this was helpful :-)

This pair of headphones are quite comfy. My only issue with them is that when I wear them for a long periods, my ears start to hurt, not because of the sound, but because they don't really sit well on my ears - that's probably because my ears are shaped kinda oddly, so its not really a fault of the headphones but of my genetics. Other than that, my brother has used these for 6 hours straight at one point and had no issue whatsoever. However, these headphones are open headphones so not only will the sound leak out (other people can hear it) if you put the volume too loud, but you will be able to hear other people as well. So if the airplane is gonna be noisy, you might as well not be wearing any headphones. This pair of headphones are quite comfy.

I personally haven't slept with them on my ears but I have laid on them while using them. There is some slight pressure and they will eventually start to hurt but that's just me. They're pretty light but they're also thin (but not thin to where they'll break and stuff) I wouldn't recommend sleeping with them on so you won't end up being choked by em or breaking them.

Yes these headphones are great for listening to music while falling a sleep, the ear pads are fully articulating so they automatically adjust to the way your ears and head are shaped so you get the perfect fit every time you put them on.

I notice a few times that they felt tight after a hour or two. But most times i'm moving the headphones around on, off, ect. And they wouldn't hurt at all very snug on the head.

My husband has told me these earphones are the most comfortable he has ever worn. The ear cups are oblong and the padded cushion rests gently on the outer ear so that the ear hole is not in any way impacted. He has experienced no ear hole pain and states that the sound quality is exceptional. I am very sensitive to earphones as are you and have found them to be comfortable when I have used them as well. I hope this is helpful.

Yes, they are very comfortable on your head, no pressure on your ears. Very open sound stage, and great quality

I would assume so. I wear them for hours at a time with no discomfort. They stay in my ears through exercises without budging... so I would imagine they'd stay in while rolling around in bed. They come with many different size adapters for comfort... but the comply audio foam ones are extremely comfortable and provide excellent sound.

Personally, I find them very comfortable now that I've gotten used to them. I wear glasses with plastic ear pieces so the earpieces rub against the plastic and it makes a slight rubbing sound. The only time I even notice this is when there is no audio on and I'm shifting in my chair.

Depends on the size of one's head and ears. Mine are fairly large and I did have this problem but overcame by gently pinching foam until it became soft. The P-leather was not damaged during the pinching process, Also I gently stretched the headband. If portability is not an issue, may I suggest the JVC HARX700 or HARX 900 - large headphones with huge cavities for the ear and are indeed comfortable. HARX 900 has better pads.

I find them very comfortable. The speaker part fits into the ear canal and the remainder of the earbud rests in the outer rim of the ear. I also disliked the way the earbuds that came with my iPod worked as they wouldn't stay in my ears unless I really squashed them up in there. These are shaped more like the ear is shaped so they're comfy to wear and don't just fall out.

I wear these for a couple of hours at a time, and the only discomfort I experience is that the earcups press on the temples of my glasses, eventually causing them to hurt (like the glasses are too tight on my head). Taking the headphones off for about 10 min or so alleviates the pressure, and I'm good for a couple more hours.If I don't wear my glasses, I have no issues at all.

At this point I have used them only for listening through my CPU and volume has not been an issue. Reasonably comfortable for long periods. I hope to get to the big stereo soon, but have to rearrange the furniture first:)

Yep, they are comfortable and can stay on your head for quite some time. You can listen to music off the computer or have it playing off your secondary (either phone or mp3/ipod). Only thing is, you are corded, so being able to walk around a lot is not available.

Yes, they are very comfortable. Sometimes I forget that I have them in my ears.

Unfortunately I have the same problem for extended listening sessions. After about an hour, the top of my head begins to hurt, just as you are describing. I do not think there is a fix for this, sadly. However, I did not buy these headphones for comfortability, and therefore it is not a big issue to me. The main selling point is the unbelievable audio performance, and boy do these headphones deliver. Sorry I do not have a solution, as I too have the same problem, hopefully someone else can answer

They are not the most comfortable , I wouldn't try to sleep in them, but as far as for headphone use, they are fabulous. The sound quality is amazing. I had a Bose set, but I like these better. Go for it Judy, you won't be sorry.
