First of all I apologize if this query sounds silly. But I tried some amount of googling and could get no really satisfactory answer and so felt I should ask here where I could get the expert opinion of bonafide audiophiles with hours of listening experience.
I have a bluetooth Motorola HT820 headset. I am quite satisfied with the sound. However my gripe is with the comfort, or rather lack of comfort. After about 5 minutes it becomes very uncomfortable. So my question is:
As per the experience of users, are all behind the neck headphones uncomfortable, or is it just a case of one particular model being uncomfortable?
Asking because I was considering the Nokia BH 503. If anyone is currently using this, then kindly let me know whether it is comfortable after extended usage.
TIA
 
I use headphones only while using computer and for chatting.

Yes, I find them uncomfortable too, especially above my ear lobes (and I don't have vulcan like ears). My behind the neck headphones are from iball.
 
Had used the Nokia BH 503 with my ipod during a recent trip. The sound quality aint that great though, however helped me kill 3+ hrs in transit. I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable and I had them on for 3+ hrs and never experienced any discomfort.
