I am getting 250 pads and using a large flat piece of memory foam in place of the head pad. That alone has made a world of difference.

Ultrasone, your drivers can be wonderful. My ALO 780s are amazing sounding for a closed dynamic. Your use of that CRAPPY design for the rest of the can is reprehensible. A completely new, comfort focused design is entirely warranted asap.
ha i had mine with the exact way yours was set up but now my headband is slightly worn in and is more bearable. But im getting a new one soon that sounds like it will be perfect.
