These were too hard. So I got these and was very excited. I could tell but still comfortable. I watched the Sennheiser video on how to do this, but still I had a hard time getting the pads on all the way around (when Id get one side on, it would slip off the other side). Ruido. I always read the reviews before I purchase a product and in doing so I read several bad reviews. Fits about right. This white audio cable is packaged in a white. I added a couple photos to this review, but I will have to come back to be sure they post. When I saw these red ones I grabbed them and didn?t care that they were marked up, as my original pair of grey ones and at the end of their life.
