Comfortable is up to each person, but I find them fine. I think the key is whether or not you can wear earplugs of any sort and find them comfortable, awake or sleeping. If you don't mind earplugs then you won't mind these. If you do, buy over the ear headphones.
I use the foam inserts because I feel they make a tighter seal in my ear and block out more sound.
If people are interested in replacement foam covers, I've found those DVD rental booths in airports [In-Motion Pictures] sell 10-piece bags for $9.99. Their prices aren't extra competitive, but you aren't being gouged either. With tax in ATL, the total is $10.69. Plus you avoid paying cost-recouping shipping fees with such a small item. I haven't been able to find too many places that are cheaper when you only want 10 and not 100 or even 1000 of them.
