Some reviews make mention to the feel of wearing these -- how do they compare to the M4 1s?

I don't have the M4 1S, but I would imagine that these are heavier than most headphones. They are absolutely amazing to listen to, but can only be worn for about 60-90 minutes at a time.

if i were you i would go to the local high end audio shop and try these for a while - maybe 20 mins? if you notice any discomfort at all in that time, be aware it *will* magnify over another hour, so consider that.

Hi Karthik,These headphones are not as tight as regular sound booth headphones. If you used earbuds before, these will feel and sound very different. However, these are one of the lightest around the ear headphones I've used, that also sound great. I can wear my m40x headphones for hours before my ears get tired from the pressure.

Hey Speed, They are a bit more substantial than the first gen PX-100's but are still much lighter than a pair of around the ear headphones (cans). I use them while running and haven't had any complaints about the weight. Good luck, G.

It is hard to tell which one is the dominant action, they are very nice on the ears. I will say this i prefere them, when no intercommunication is needed between shooters, over the electronic models, and so do the people that have the electronic models that I shoot with when they try them.

I don't have any knowledge of the M80 but the XS was average in comfort to me. To me the momentum on ear was a little more comfortable and better sounding. The XS is more efficient and compact.

I have gotten used to them and I can wear them for two to three hours without problem. For me, these headphones did not seem to be difficult to wear for two/three hours. I can wear them longer than I can tolerate the Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (which after a while tend to make my ears sweaty). But do keep in mind this is dependent on the individual, just because these headphones work for me it does not mean they will work for everyone. It is easy to forget that every person has a different head size, differently shaped ears, and perhaps many other subtle differences that are hard to see in a review. I admit that it is hard finding comfortable headphones; you kind of have to try them for a while and see if you accommodate/tolerate them. One thing I do know, if they do hurt your ears do look for something else. It doesn't matter if they sound good but you can't wear them, then they are no good to you. Sometimes it is worth to visit a real store and try many headphones and see if there is a pattern in terms of comfort and fit. But if I do visit a store, I feel compelled to buy from the store to remain fair to the fact that I use the store to test and try out the product.

I never heard of the SM4B, but I do know the M4SB. These are all just variations on a theme. The M4B is the plain black matte finish designed with the military in mind; the matte finish keeps it from reflecting light and giving away your position at night. The M4SB is a dressier version with shiny clip, etc.

Same can be said for the Kinivo BTH 240. These are all basically the same design with a few tweaks (like the red color on the BTS). I actually ordered the Kinivo's and just found them to be too uncomfortable, so I'm now trying these. Comfort seems slightly better in comparison, but we'll see how they feel after a few hours.

I was about to say the exact same thing as 1Danny. They feel so small in my ears, yet they are still a secure fit, so sometimes I forgot they are there.

10/10. I've worn them for hours on end with no trouble. The padding is soft and durable (it doesn't rip or lose it's plushness), and it never feels like there's a sharp edge cutting into me. The only problem is when you wear them for a very long time (8+ hours of near constant use) - I have a somewhat large head, so they tend to compress on my head a bit, which does hurt. But that shouldn't be a problem for most people in most situations. Worth the money.

I have a large head, i find them to be comfortable, not as comfortable as the AKG Q701s but still good. Everyone has different shaped heads though so comfort reviews don't mean too much :)

oh yes most def first of all the drivers are 10mm bigger and very noticeable when hearing it's a no brainer, i tried the xb400's when i sampled the 500's as well and the 500's were much more comfy as well... it is well worth the extra few $'s for sure i would not hesitate... the 400's are on ear, i hated em they squish your ear after a few minutes wearing them , the 500's are over the ear, much much better for longer durations of using them... if you can get a pair get em now because they may become obsolete and you will be disappointed...

My opinion would be good. I got them for the gun range and they cut out most of the noise. Also very comfortable for long periods of use.

I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums. I don't consider myself to have large ears at all. I thought the Sennheisers pinched my ears; I couldn't ever quite get comfortable in them. I thought the PSB's weighed a metric ton and had a headache after an hour of wearing them, but they definitely have larger ear cups; I had no issues there. I thought they both sounded great; Sennheiser has more pronounced bass but PSB has a better balanced sound. But neither of those obstacles were enough for me to keep either pair; I instead have the Bose AE2i's. There is a downgrade in sound quality but not a ton - they still sound great, they are light weight, and fit comfortably around the ears. I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums.

I have the pads on my M-50's on my ears right now. They fit well although they come off a little easier than the stock pads. They are a definite upgrade though.

Mine are very comfortable to wear. I tend to wear them for several hours at a time and almost forget I have them on because I'm so used to them.

Wear each for a few days and see if a preference develops. I have a pair too and didn't feel much of difference. Overall though I'm not sure they are worth the extra I spent on them
