Well. Try to figure this one out. Your parents never had sex. So your mother never got pregnant. So you're not born. So you don't have a weiner........... (Yes! You can't have SEX!!!).

Just a 'duh' comment

It is, yet it isn't - I know most headphones are best in the normal position, but maybe some people found that certain headphones sound better when they are tilted at an angle or whatnot.
Which is proved as a few people have said that tilted forward suits them-blaa blaa

So there ya go

I agree!

Differences in driver position can be more important than the kind of headphone being used! If it is sound quality you are interested in, you need to work on the positioning of the driver, and only then work on making the headband as comfortable as possible using whatever adjustability it has.
On my head, the Senns end up forward, the Grados right on top of my head and the K1000 even a little toward the crown.
