The problem with the bose headphones for long flights are the fact that even though they are over the ear, they are still quite small. I found that to get them over my ear, I have to wiggle my ear into them. After a few hours... say, a flight to Taipei or Singapore, my ears would get sore and I'd have to take them off for awhile.

As much as it embarrasses me to admit it, I found that the most comfortable earphones (for me) are the Beats Executive Noise Cancelling Over Ear headphones.

I also tried on a pair of Sennheiser in Amsterdam Airport that were awesome... can't remember the model but they were almost $1,000US. hell no.

Maybe I just have big fricking ears. But I find that for long international flights, even a bit of discomfort winds up being a big sore sport at some point.

Or maybe I have small ears!

I recently flew international and the Bose were a life saver. Fit is comfortable, sound quality is very good if noise cancelling is turned on. If you turn noise cancelling off the sound is pretty bad actually.

My ears fit perfect in them.

Best thing for the OP would be to go and actually try some on. Last thing you want to do is drop money on something you won't like. I did that with a pair of Jaybird bluebuds and they just sit in my truck now.
