I've been using ES-7's for ~3 months now and I absolutely see no reason to mod them. I really don't think their clamping is too strong.

But don't they look weird on your head with the elbows sticking out like crazy?

OK, they looked weird, but I don't use them outdoors.
I tried this mod - it's better now.

I had the exact same problem as you man. Do the mod and it'll be better. I was quite cautious when doing it so I bent it slowly while constantly re-reading this thread haha.Initially the pain came on after around 1 or 2 hours of listening, now its more around 2-3 and its more comfortable on the skull as well. And like the rest have said, it looks better now without the metal "elbows" sticking out.

I just received my ES7's and want to do this, but I still can't really figure it out. I read threw this whole thread, and I put my fingers where I'm supposed to, and bend, but it doesn't do anything. Pictures and/or videos of this process would be really great!

Thanks for this 3X0, and this adjustment greatly improves comfort.
Perhaps the new ones are manufactured differently (mine is 2008-06) or my head is shaped differently, but I found that I only had to bend it a touch to get the desired effect. I thought I didn't do anything, but when I put them on, they were basically in line with your image.

3X0, imho you have provided one of the best bang for the buck mods on this site. (ie a mod that can be done in under 2 minutes and results in big improvements)

This mod really improved the comfort of the phones for me. This was a pleasant surprise, as I mainly did the mod to improve the looks and so they'd conform to my head better. Excellent. It does almost feel like the manufacturer meant for the user to do this -- they should put this in the user manual under "customizing your phones via bending" heh

Ran across this thread and tried this mod on my ES7's. It took about 10 minutes to do and it's well worth it!
They fit much more comfortably now and not only do they not stick out as much, they also don't put as much pressure on my ears as they did before.
