you can change the earpad and it will make the headphone very comfy.

Also adjust the headband.....you can open them to the widest opening or closed ...I find keeping them closed not spread apart helps with the pain etc..I wear them for 2 hrs at a time with no issues, but used to have issues at first.

Tried the headband. Didn't really do anything for me!
 
But one interesting I found today was... I needed my Left earcup at the 4th position from top, and my Right earcup at the 2nd position from top. it seems very uneven but that's whats been keeping them comfortable for me.
 
So far today I've wore them for 4 hours (not straight) and my ears are definitely not as red as yesterday and not as sore. It's actually quite comfortable that I could wear them for an hour without taking them off.

The stock pads definitely soften up over time and get more comfortable or you get more used to them. Pity they didn't just design em to be comfy though

well, our ears are usually not  symmetrical

Great glad you found a fit that works!!

so, is there an official US link (amazon, ebay, etc) where I can buy the new headband pads/earpads that's used on the new facelift? sorry if this was asked/answered before but I think I still find it difficult to search for it.
Thank you..

Exactly. Not only they get more comfortable over time (in my experience about 2 weeks given my usage pattern) but the seal also gets better as the pads soften up.
 
If an asymmetrical headband setting fits best -- why not. Spreading the headband gives a bit more distance between the cups but makes the clamping force much stronger IMO. I always keep it closed.

Can anyone suggest a suitable DAC that works great with these magnificent headphones?

You don't need anything fancy.  I'm quite pleased with them from my Audinst HUD-mx1.

i kinda wanted to get a tube DAC but I dont know how it will pair with the 1350. I have always wanted a tube

Anyone else here interested in the t51p?
There havent been many impressions yet and they've been mixed (some awesome some bad).
Seems like they massively improved comfort which as we all know is the big one, but also the fiddly fit.
But how will they sound compared to the 1350 is the really important one...

I haven't seen any bad impressions yet! If you have a link or two, that would be appreciated.
