The CM500s have large enough cups to encompass my entire ear (albeit barely), thus permitting me to wear them for extended periods of time.

Dave is a great example of the very important point I stated near the 
beginning of this thread -- headphone comfort is strongly dependent on 
the size/shape of our head and ears.

This matters ONLY if you can't adjust mic gain to provide 100% 
modulation and achieve good levels of speech compression, 10 dB or so on 
voice peaks.
