These have little 'suction' pads, and could give you an earache after a while.
I listen to music a lot, for long period of time, and use the I pod ear buds.

Sometimes they can irritate me though, they can be painfully if you jam them in your ear canal, and they fall out a lot, depending on the shape of your ear.
Overall, I suggest you use actual headphones. My favorite are Panasonic noise canceling headphones. They are a little pricey, but they are worth it, they are comfortable, because they have a padding, they don't fall off, and of course the noise canceling system is the best in my opinion.

M$Happened once in the first three hours of a 10 hour flight for me. I found the airlines over-the-ear headphones to be more comfortable over long periods of time.
Sony makes great affordable over-the-ear headphones with noise canceling features that make a huge difference.

M$The ear bud style headphones basically just sit in your ear. They don't squeeze your head, so you don't really feel them.
You might think that the sound quality is not as good, but you would be surprised, how good the quality can be in ear buds these days.
Personally I use the ear buds that came with my ipod. I just plug them into my computer. I also have a couple pairs of over the ear headphones, but like you mentioned, they are not comfortable after long periods of wear. That's why I always use the ear buds.

M$My current pair are Genius brand, but I have used Koss, and some $40 sony buds. My favorite of all are the Sony ones, because they had superior quality and good manufacturing, but the problem was that they were not as robust as other ones and were the quickest to break (like 4 months or so). The Genius brand can be found for like $20-25 USD and sound ok.
Also, if you don't like those, I had a radioshack brand of over the ear headphones that weren't bad. They had sound adjustments on both sides of the headphones so you could adjust left and or right to make it perfect. I think they're like $40, but the problem is that due to a design flaw, they headphone part can break off if you aren't careful. It's easily fixable with super glue, but still...
Used earbuds for years.

M$I personally like the Sennheiser line of headphones - they are very lightweight, comfortable, and sound quality is superb.
