9 yr old son said they were uncomfortable and hurt his ears. He wore them for ~20 min and his ears were bright red. Do they get more comfortable?

My four year old users them and hasn't complained. I had to adjust them to fit smaller for her, if you haven't already let them out then you may try that. I know that the few times I've put them on they weren't comfortable because they felt too small.

Hello -- we've had some petite adults say they were ok for them, but as we know everyone is a different size. I'll address this more fully in your email to us, but one quick fix might be to stretch them about a bit (the metal band is flexible). We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so we'll work something out with you of course. Thank you.

Yes, these are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. They fit very well in my ears that after awhile I don't feel them. I like these very much.

I found them to be uncomfortable in general. I changed the size to see if my ears were the problem, and they were still not comfortable. I would not recommend these in any capacity.

I found that on the head they felt very good...however for me my ears started to really hurt after about 45 minutes or so of use. I noticed this trend though with any on the ear headphones, so personally this was enough for me to return them to purchase a pair of song OVER the ear headphones.

I think these are more comfortable than the $30 ones. I can wear them for ~4 hours and then it only hurts a little behind my ears. Sound quality is probably better too, but I can't remember because I bought the $30 ones so long ago. If you're looking for comfort- buy these. If you're looking for style and/or a cheaper version- buy the $30 ones.

My ears get a little sore, bu I believe that's to be expected. They also get a little "warm" but nothing too bad. I find them very comfortable.

I basically liked these headphones, but for me they did become a little painful/pinching after 1-2 hours of wearing. However, if you look at the other reviews you'll find quite a spread of opinion on their comfortable level. It seems you have to try them for yourself.

This is not the headset for you - it's for small heads. My 9-year old son can wear them comfortably for long periods of time, but they start to bother me after 15 - 20 minutes since they fit realy snugly, even when extended to maximum size. If Plantronics made this same set in a larger size, I would highly recommend it since it's a great product at this price level, but if you know your head is large due to past bad experiences with small headsets, then I'm sure you'll be unhappy with this one as well.

I'm pretty sure that you would get ear infections. :-) when I wear them for about 15 minutes or so, my ears get very sweaty.they do great with .noise reduction, and they're pretty slim, but unless you sleep on your back I don't think I would even bother.

I don't think that these would be good for a small child. You really have to adjust the position of them in your ear. My ears are not hot and uncomfortable when I use these, but I have no idea if they "breathe".

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.

I used them, and I inserted them correctly (rolled them up into a tight cylinder then put them in my ear). In the morning, my ears hurt, even for a little while after I took the ear plugs out. I think I must have small ear canals -- when I buy headphones that have different-sized ear pieces, I always have to use the smallest ones. Anyway, I would say they are not comfortable for smaller ears.

I tried having them in my ears while standing next to a wheel grinder machine at work. When in use I thought it might make a similar racket. Anyway, the earplugs dulled the "high end" whine and some of the loud rattling sound. So, I guess it couldn't hurt for him to wear them to protect his hearing. Might not seem like much of a difference as far as volume, but the disruptive aspects of the noise were cut considerably.

Hi Carol: I bought these for my niece so I asked her your question and she said that she sleeps with them in her ears, but laying on your side with them in your ears is a little painful! I hope this helps...I would be more than happy to answer anymore questions that you may have. I know that she really likes these ear buds. I bought her a regular Bluetooth prior to this and she didn't like it at all.

when they are powered up, the button must be pressed on one set to activate the pairing. they are then voice activated to communicate. i dont think it would be a problem for a 10-12 year old to use them. the sets i have are not adjustable, so i am not sure how the fit would be on a 10-12 year old. these hurt my ears after 2-3 hours of continuously wearing them.

I found them quite uncomfortable after an hour. Something that guys around your ear is far better, that's what I have now. The noise cancelling function is a waste if time, I get a better result out of my current 'normal' headphones.

It really depends on how sensitive your ears are. I wouldn't recommend wearing them all day. I think you will by satisfied with the product. They don't feel cheap. You will be able to hear the music just fine but don't expect " Beats by Dre" quality. Not sure how long they will last.
