Hello everyone, I've been a lurker for a while and this is my first post. I apologize if this has been covered, but all the searches I've done seemed to turn up the opposite results.
I find the AD700s uncomfortable, in fact downright painful. Every search and thread I read about them before my purchase painted them as one of the most comfortable. I can't really tell if my head was too big or too small, basically they dug into my jaw right below and behind my ears to the point that within only a few seconds I wanted to take them off. I tried rotating them in every which way and nothing helped. I made myself wear them for over an hour thinking maybe I'd get used to it. I did not. I also tried mounting them on a large ball for a long while thinking it might loosen them up, it did a bit, but not enough to help.
My whole reason for the purchase was because I also find my Grado SR-60s uncomfortable, albeit in a different way. So my question is, where do I go from here. Overall I liked the sound of the AD700s more then the SR-60s, but obviously any other Audio Technica with the 3D wing things will be just as bad. What direction should I go. Thanks in advance for any advice.
