No you will definitely get sweaty from those if you have before. They are leathery, and do have an uncomfortable fit around the ear because they are more circular in design.

Sennheiser has THE most comfortable design that I have come across before. I own or owned: HD 518, HD 558, and my newest pair HD 598. The fabric used on the ear coverings seem to breathe because although it covers the ear it never gets warm in that enclosed space. Only real issue I have with Sennheiser is if you listen to really loud music others near you can probably hear it (of course there are probably models that handle that issue, but that is the thing I've come across with the pairs I've used).
