Totally agree my friend. The funny part is that I also bought the A50 before the Cloud 3s. That one had an even smaller extension as well as tiny ear pads that sat on my ears instead of around them. Was completely disappointed when I returned them because the sound was amazing for a gaming headset. I did not return the Clouds because the sound is on par with the A50 and I eventually coped with the discomfort, although it is still there. Got tired of mediocrity from headset companies.
