Does the HD800 have the same headband tighness problem of HD650?

I'm starting to look into the possibility of buying a pair of HD800. I already have the HD650 and while they're great the headband is wayyyy to tight. I think this effect has been coined the "Sennheiser Vice." My question is does the HD800 have the same insanely tight headband issue as the HD650?

I feel the clamping pressure itself to be similar level.  HD800's perhaps with a bit less pressure. The main difference though is that HD800 cups are much bigger and wider so you don't feel it as much.

I found the HD 800s to be extremely comfortable, and felt almost no clamp.

Yep, less clamping pressure, wide area over the ear to distribute that pressure.

 

Overall one of the most ergonomically comfortable headphones I've ever put on my head.

X2.

 

I hated the HD650 clamp (worse than my LCD-2s), but the HD800s are simply the most comfortable headphones I've had on my head...period.

The HD800 are the most comfortable headphone I’ve ever worn. they are light, the cups don’t touch the ears at all, the material is soft and the clamping force is very light.

I haven't worn the 650s, but the HD800 is as comfortable as the DT880s to my head. Couldn't ask for more.

Hate the clamp on HD600 and 650

 

HD800 is still one of the most comfortable cans I ever tried.

How does the HD650 compare to the HD555? I found the 555 to be exceptionally comfortable and am thinking of getting the 650. Are they similar,
