Sounds marvellous. What bothers me about many headphones is the padding they have around the soundchannels. From what I understand, they are to prevent outside audio from polluting the inside audio, but every time I tried headphones with them on, my ears sweat far more than they ever should. Considering I often listen to the music for hours on end, this is a very inconvienient circumstance. Do you have any experience with that, and/or with how to avoid it?

These headphones don't make my ears sweat in any significant way, but YMMV. I use these at work all day. I do need to take little breaks every now and then because the pressure/weight gets a little annoying after hours of use, but this hasn't bothered me either. I really love these, and I have friends who have the same model/the next model up and love them, but again, YMMV.
