For short periods of time, as well as movies on my laptop, these headphones are superb. For me they are definitely not wearable for an extended period of time without some physical discomfort in my ears.
I agree, and I must be the only person in America who RETURNED mine to Bose. I didn't think they were all they advertised, especially for the price. They didn't block noise like I expected and I found them uncomfortable after about an hour.
