REVIEW UPDATE: CHANGING FROM 5 STARS TO 1 STAR. Some women can wear a 3 inch heel without any additional inserts for 8 hours and have no foot fatigue. The longest I?ve worn them for at one time so far is 4 hours, and never did it cause my overly sensitive skin to feel irritated or make me feel like there was excess pressure being applied to my skull as other stiff headphones sometimes do. I tried one of the unofficial alternatives where you stretch Brainwavez hm5 pads over the earcups. They are lightweight but the contouring and memory foam feel"like being barefoot" and they seem to be of very good quality so they should last him awhile. As soon as I went back to my old slippers, the pain went away. Overall very displeased, will not be ordering from this brand again. They should have options. They weigh 7. Also the bottom soul is still holding up, no holes or tears, and the rubber still grips everything.
