I wear glasses, so I need a can with VERY LOW clamping pressure.
 
I recently had to return the Senn. HD558 because it clamped too hard over the frame of my glasses.
 
Thanks.
 
 
1) VERY LOW clamping pressure.
 
2) Lots of ear space and depth to the cups
 
3) Sounds good with movies(main use)
 
4) Budget about $100

Philips SHP9500! (I also wear glasses and used to own it. Most comfortable headphone I've ever worn.)

 

[Jim McC]

Thanks. Do they fit all my criteria?

Yeah, except they have some treble peaks and don't have a lot of physical impact. Not the best headphones for watching videos, since voices don't sound as heavy and thick as you may want. They can be modded, though. Look up the Magick Man mod.

Thanks. I'm not interested in doing any mods.

You should look at the Pioneer SE-A1000.

The op in that thread is overhyping them, but for around $60-$70 they are good.

I have to say, with your having had to return the 558's, it is entirely possible you may have to stretch your budget a bit to satisfy all your current criteria. I wish you luck.

Really? No can less than $100 clamps less than the HD558?

The one I mentioned definitely clamps much less. It's far more comfortable than the HD 558 in every way.
 
It just has an airy sound typical of many open headphones. If you use EQ, you could probably get voices, etc. in videos to sound thicker.

Maybe the Audio Technica ATH-TAD500, $65 + $10 shipping

Thanks. I'm thinking of the Takstar HI-2050. Does anyone know how the clamping pressure, etc. is on that?
