Yes, the ear pads are small. Yes, these are tight. The plastic that these are made of is fairly rigid, and molded for a pretty tight head fit. I don't know if you want to try this with these headphones, but I put a flame to the plastic to heat it up, and I adjusted/loosened up the headphone. (I'm sure you could also heat up the plastic with a hairdryer. I used a lighter.) Anyway, you can make the plastic of the headset more malleable through heat and shape it to better fit your head. It helped make my pair more comfortable. Nothing really to be done about the small ear pads that I can see. Regarding sound, it sounds great. I'm no audiophile, but for $25, my expectations are not huge, and the Sennhiesers exceeded them.

I bought these without trying them on first, which I'm sure a lot of folks do. Well don't. On almost every pair of Sennheiser headphones listed on Amazon there are a handful of reviews that say that the phones being reviewed fit too tightly and are uncomfortable. I went with the majority and paid no attention to these reviews and wish I had. I just got them and have had them on for about an hour. They felt fine at first and sounded decent too. But after about 45 minutes they just plain hurt. I've now had them OFF for about 15 minutes and my ears and head still hurt and I have a headache. (no the music was not THAT loud) These are obviously decent headphones, but just think about trying on some somewhere before spending the money.

I had several headphones from 20 - 50 bucks. This is the best headphone I have ever had with the same price range. Only a little complain on the pain when listening to music after long hours. 4 star as per the little ear pain.
