You should get the carbon fiber head band too. The price sucks but after eating it, makes a huge difference in comfort level IMO. Takes a good headphone that can be annoying due to hot spots on the head, and makes it great and super comfortable. I love my XC. I think after them anything higher priced is so far into diminishing returns it's nearly pointless (unless you're one of those most demanding and nitpicking listeners or have enough money you can go for the absolute best and throw away a few extra $1000s to get there).
Thanks for the heads up! So I've had mine for about a couple days now, today used them for about 6 hours, and can feel a slight bit of pressure on my head, but really isn't even close to anything irritating.
I may still just be under the "new phones" spell, but I'm hoping I'll will be good without the upgraded headband. If it gets worse, I'll definitely look into the upgrade.
They're definitely the first high-end pair I've owned and I've been blown away so far. I was looking for high quality, closed back for use at the office as well and these are unreal!
