I recently purchase AKG K702 from B&H (Without the bumps on the headband), but I am struggling to use them for prolonged periods. After a while, it feels as if pressure builds under my ear/around my jaw. I am still in a position to return them and try something else, but I really like the sound signature and they were only $150 marked down from the retail $350. However, I need something I can use for multiple hours without discomfort.
Is this an issue that I can resolve with different pads? If so, which is the most comfortable pad available for the K702? If I have to return it, what would give me similar sound (I like the soundstage and accuracy more than "fun" headphones) at less than $200? I prefer something with a detachable cable and only one cable (Otherwise, I would just buy the 6xx).
