I've had these for almost a month now... Got them July 12th. (Yes, that is me wearing them in my profile pic)
I have an annoying ache in the back of my neck... I am a healthy 27 year old male.... don't usually have these problems.
I love the sound, but I think I need to sell these off... very sad.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else had this problem? Does it go away after some time?
I just can't see it being healthy for my neck...
Heya,
I found them uncomfortable as well. It will go away over time as your neck develops those tiny, tiny muscles that it's using for support. But during that `training' time, you'll get aches, headaches, and all kinds of annoying pains. I found a lot of the weight was actually just from having the cups unbalanced in terms of being centered on the head, and the weight of the cables. My primary is the HE500 which is also a heavy headphone, but I got a lighter custom cable and the overall chassis and cup profile is smaller and I have zero issues with the weight.
Very best,
I think this response was identical to my findings with its comfort issue. I recently got a moon audio cable which is heavier than a previous braided type cable and just from a slight difference in weight, the comfort is much worse. Ive used the 3M sticker http://www.3m.com/product/information/Wire-Picture-Hanger-Command-Adhesive.html on a part of my desk to allow the weight to rest on the hook rather than hang down which caused the LCD2s to feel even heavier. I also found that having the cups adjusted to a "loose" fit with the metal prongs made it worse, I currently have no comfort issues when the phones are securely tight along with the weight of the cable elsewhere.
