Hi, first post, I'm not a massive audiophile (hearing not sharp enough) but I do own the AD900 and have to say I was surprised and disappointed by the comfort, or lack of it, especially after reading tons of posts raving about how comfy it and the AD700 were. I too find my ear pressing the driver - even and tiny hole in the material in front of the driver now. But also the bottom of the pad was pressing against my earlobe/neck/jawline just below my ear which also caused discomfort.
So a big thanks sysfail! (Bengt77 & Kernmac too etc). Tissue makes a huge difference - much more like how I expected a circumaural to fit! Tempted to try the W5000 pad mod too - especially as I feel leather is really the material for a high end phone - but I think I may miss the emphasis away from those beautiful highs... Nevertheless comfort is really important to me and I find the standard pads a little hot/itchy also. Anyway, know where I can get hold of some W5000 pads? Tried audiocubes but couldn't find any there.
Thanks once again - first time these headphones have felt comfortable in over a year's use...
