Not the one you replied to, and I have a slightly different model (OpenRun Pro) but in my experience, not at all.

They work a little differently with bone conduction. This requires a tiny bit of pressure just ~~below your temple~~ in front of your ear. It doesn't hurt, but if I wear it all day long (way more than a couple hours) I find myself a little bit... Annoyed with them? Just a little. I still happily put them on again the next day. Zero pain.

Oh, and bass comes out a little differently and kinda tickles a little bit. If you listen to stuff with a lot of bass frequently it may not be your best option. Sound quality is generally like a pair of Sound Blaster speakers from the 90s: it gets the job done just fine, but it's not for audiophiles.
