I never had an issue with the bumps, assuming you wear them proper, where the headband isn't over the "top" of your head (this is how most headphones should probably be worn). Very comfy headphones they are.

Thanks, i read some reviewers say there very very comfortable headphones, and some say the leather headband digs into your skull.

How do you wear them properly? That seems to be the only way to wear them, but then again, I didnt get any info sheets with mine

Have you ever had MDR-SA5000s? (Or tried them?). Just like with those, you tilt the headband back towards the rear of your head - instead of over the very top part of your head. It changes where the headband presses on your noggin. Looks a little dorky, but it makes them super comfy. If you wear them straight over the top of your head, like you would with an Ultrasone, the headband can press down a little bit more.

I don't like the partial seal of the AKG's that way though. I guess I could change the orientation of the pads. But still. Not very like what I want to do with them.

What do you mean "partial seal"?

I wore it ...pretty far back. I'm going to guess you meant to wear it on the back head hump which is a very slight tilt backwards.. I'll try it like this while gaming today and see how it goes.

Yes, "slight tilt" is what I mean - not making them into "behind the neck" cans.

I'm very sensitive to comfort and this could be an issue for me... i'll see if i can find somewhere i can try them out but it's very unlikely where i live.

Unless you plan on staying in that store for 3 hours +....it is highly unlikely you will feel the discomfort. You can put it on and imagine what the bumps will feel like in 3+ hours but you won't feel it really. You will be greeted with comfort when you put it on.

Im guessing if the headband is a issue, you can always put something on the headband to cushion it more.

I cut up a few pieces of sponge and tied it to the headband. Voila, the most comfortable full sized headphone ever. lol

I use a seat belt pad cut to fit the shape of the headband:
