While the S-80 are a nice departure from the company's M-Series models, they have a few flaws that make them less than perfect for all users. The 12.5 ounces of weight makes them feel heavy, particularly when worn on the ear. This puts pressure on your ears, causing ear pain after approximately an hour of use. The headband is also uncomfortable and stiff when it is worn around your neck.
