The Sennheiser RS 175 headphones are generally comfortable for extended periods of use, with an extra-large circumaural headset and plush ear covers that provide a comfortable fit.

However, some reviewers mentioned that the pressure exerted by the headphones may cause slight soreness between the ear lobes and jaw after a while, although this discomfort is not reported to be painful or unbearable.

The padding material on the ear cups and headband is not as soft or premium as some other headphones in their price range, and the ear cups exert a bit too much pressure on the ears, causing some discomfort over long periods. However, the adjustable headband and plush ear covers make the headphones suitable for a variety of head sizes and shapes.

Overall, the Sennheiser RS 175 headphones offer a comfortable listening experience for extended use, but may not be as comfortable or premium as some other headphones in their price range.
