I am using these pads in the bedroom and living room. I have a medium size head but I have small ear holes. Just be sure to use the lower portion if you are hanging a heavy jacket. The Isotoners have a softer memory foam feel, although not super thick. I would have even paid a bit more if it had the flat ac plug feature. Quick break to post my First impression review - Id definitely say this is a Must Buy. Its perfect for about 80% of us; the other 20% of us might need something wider! I dont have any examples of this because I dont have any that fit the bill in my headphone arsenal. I thought, Well maybe its because I only wore them for a couple of hours. Be careful when pouring into your hand.
