In fact i've got a headache right now after listening for 2 hours. :/

Are there any more comfortable headphones with similar sound in this pricerange, or will i somehow adjust to the pressure from these phones?

 

Note: I wouldn't mind getting full-size headphones either, i just don't want to sacrifice sound quality...

That's what you get when having an supra-aural cans : hot and discomfort.

I've heard they will lighten up and adapt after some wear.

Putting them over a pile of books helps out too. Just gotta watch out so you don't lose the isolation when it sits too lightly no?

Headphones delivered!

Trying them out as I write this. Comfort isn't too shabby, but I can see what people mean when "tight" is often used. I'm sure it will lighten up after a while~. And they look far better than I imagined.

I have no idea about listening experience and audiophilia, but ... my fav techno songs, there are things I have never heard before. I'm loving it to death.
