so i've been reading this thread for the past two hours and i'm pretty sure that i want to buy them... but i'm wondering if these are right for me. i listen to all types of music- i love norah jones and frank sinatra, but i also love dirty dutch/electro/house! does anyone go running with these on? also, are they too bulky to wear around in public? i'll be using them while walking to class as well as in the gym. i love my bass, but i also like to hear the small details. any help/insight is appreciated!
I've tried walking with them on, and they don't fall out of your head or anything...but running? lol. Also I start sweating in my ears after 30 minutes sitting in front of the computer. Running would probably be worse...And with the long cords they have, even the coiled ones, stuffing them in your pocket and running would not be a pleasant running experience...

Oh you didn't do the book thing!
I did that for a few nights consecutively and the headphones are extremely comfortable now.
Basically adjust the band extenders to what that fit your head, then get some textbooks / a big stack of something you can set up, put some padding on two sides (e.g. socks), and clamp the headphones onto the stack of books/whatever; adjust the thickness of the stack so that the top headband part of the M50 is FLAT (this will NOT damage the headbands - in fact M50 has some of the best and toughest headband construction possible, you can do a 360 degree twist and it won't snap or anything); leave it there and go to sleep. A few days later the headband will 'remember' the widening and it'll be more comfortable.
This might be true...but if I were you, I wouldn't do it. They don't have to be stretched/twisted this much. The book stack just has to be slightly wider than your head. Besides, you might not want them to be too loose, since you will lose some of that isolation.
