They seem a little wide to me. Bought these to wear at night during my 3rd trimester. 100 mAh verbaut. So with that all in mind, I went for these ATH-M50x headphones. I find that the slight texturing on the plastic itself is good enough to give me a grip. But for hiking, I was more than comfortable. Another review said the same thing but I forgot to check until I had one side installed. I also bought an adapter to use them with my iPhone and iPad, however there?s a pulsing crackle when I do that. A lot of reviews say that it doesn?t lather but I had no problem with lathering at all probably because I take warm to luke warm showers. Since installation its been smooth sailing, with reports from staff finding that it isolates outside noise well enough, sits comfortably on their ears, and features a surprisingly high quality microphone to boot.
