There is a piece of rubber or plastic at the top of the headband that provides some cushion. The ear cups are fine and work as intended. In all, I would say that the 520s are good for long listening sessions.  Sound and Mic Quality The 520s are a budget set of headphones so I didn't expect much in the sound department but found them to be more than adequate for most casual lis
