While it looks like it'd be heavy and hefty to wear, the device is very comfortable to wear for short periods of time and theear cups are extra soft to avoid that pinned-back feeling you get with heavier hardware.
However, the chatter and babble that I had to endure at times resulted in me keeping a pair of chain saw ear-defenders to hand - I was able to don said ear-wear when I needed to have the peace and solitude that the complexity or quantity of work demanded.
The soft leather headband and comfortable ear cups are designed for long wear and a unique folding design make Beats Executive headphones easy to carry on-the-go.
