I have small ears, but they stick out a bit, so my ears do touch the inside cups, but doesnt bother me

Only complaint is that the ear cups were not as far out as my old kraken v2 headset and this did cause some pretty annoying ear fatigue

well maybe one minor gripe; the ear cups.

The ambient noise canceling ear cups work like a charm

so my ears now good sound.

At the first 1 - 3 months of ordering this, it worked great but the comfort was extremely bad, there was a bad fit and my ears touched the driver which bruised my ears and it hurt so bad

The sound is great and the mic quality is very good too, but the problem with this headphone is that they make the peds too thin it hurt ur ear after u wear them for a while,and the headphone

hurt my ear but good for other people

Nice sound, nice mic quality and nice build quality but for me the headset started to hurt my ears after only 1 hour of use

Long gaming sessions will undoubtedly leave your ears red and irritated from touching the driver.

However, they start to hurt my ears after about an hour

Super comfortable ear pads great quality of sound from tiny nuanced footsteps in Rainbow 6S to big booming explosions and roaring engines in racing games

At the first 1 - 3 months of ordering this, it worked great but the comfort was extremely bad, there was a bad fit and my ears touched the driver which bruised my ears and it hurt so bad

Even with such a large aftermarket ear muff, my ear tops still touch the drives, but the good news is it doesnt hurt my ears and really i've forgotten that my ears touch the little bit that they do and this headset officially feels great again

My only gripe is that I don't like leatherette ear

hurt my ear but good for other people

The right ear side stopped working after one month

I started my raid last night using the SteelSeries Arctis 7, and about 4 bosses (1 hour) into the raid, my ears were hurting

I was hesitant when first purchasing because a lot of headsets tend to hurt my ears but these have been a dream

Ear muffs are way too shallow

the braided cables are starting to tangle and its getting annoying, also putting on the headset fast and hard hurts ur ear after a

My glasses (admittedly thick-framed) pushed up against my head, and my ears were slammed against the speakers under the shallow ear cups

Biggest issue with this was the ear pads smelled like onions (these were purchased brand new)

One of the biggest concern of headsets for me is hurting my ears in long gaming sessions

The discomfort almost instantly lifted my ears had space, my glasses weren't shifted around or smushed against my temples, and I could even hear the voice comms better in the Alphas

Sure my ear goes in the headset, but my ears are hitting the drivers (The speakers inside) and its quite rough

It doesn't bother me, it's not uncomfortable either as I can play for 6 hours with no ear aches or strain, but I don't like it, the cans need to be deeper.

Bought headset for my son Dec 17, worked well until the right ear stopped playing sound.

Only drawback for me is my ears feel hot aftet a while in a hot day (i live in a hot Country) but overall its totally worth

You can only wear these for maybe 45mins before your ears start to hurt to the point you will want to return these & buy something else

One of the Best if not the best gaming headset only problem is that the earpads are really uncomfortable(2 hours and you can feel pain because of the drivers touching your ears) and smell awful right out of the box.best way to fix this is to buy brainwavz earpads which fixes all of this headset's problems

These are not bass heavy like the cores and provide a balanced sound across the whole spectrum, they have venting on the top of each can which probably serves to keep the ears cool and let out the sound pressure the bass creates allowing for a more natural sound

within about an hour, my ears were hurting

If you game for an extended period of time (>2hours) these will hurt your ears

The ear muffs on this headset are the real killer

The cups hurt my tiny ears

Most headsets start hurting my ears after an hour or so of use

mic and right ear broke after a month of using it

I like having my ears free and clear

So I like these headsets the sound quality is good but the ear cushions are way to thin they actually do hurt the ears

I also like the Cloud 2 but they pinch my left ear a little because I have big ears

Now out of the box and on to my head, it felt light and the ear cups are very soft and deep enough to not hurt my ears

, memory foam is very soft on ear cups and top of headmic doesn't pick up many background noises, windscreen for fan works well!Cons:screws into plastic to hold ear cupsbraided line can kink or be a hasslenot the best inline controlonly leather cups, no velour or cloth like older modelsshallow depth of ear cups, bigger ears may be uncomfortable against speakersnot many accessories for cable configuration, only available separatelyThere is a longer list of Cons, so you may ask why the 5 star review
