These ones are quite comfortable. First the shoes I got were not the ones in the picture. You can tell the Bose unit is making an effort, but it doesn’t have that deep sound that you get from the larger drivers on the HK Onyx units, particularly the Onyx Studio 4 & 5. They fit a bit too tight on the strap and the length could been a bit more space. I put them right on my feet the moment I opened the box and it was a beautiful experience. My only disappointment was that when I put my sauce bottles on top, it was too tall and couldnt fit under the cabinets on the countertop. (And a patio screen) So, I wear these a lot. We fixed this problem by folding the top edges under just a tiny bit & they stay put & we don’t have to fold it all the time. And adorable! This thing is revolutionary, unfortunately mine took a dump after 2 weeks.
