I really like these headphones and feel like they should be comfortable. They have almost no clamp pressure, but something is weird about the pads. No matter how I turn them, there is always pressure somewhere on my face. Will these pads break in as I use them so I don't notice this pressure? How long did others take to break in? I've been using them for about a week now.
I realize part of my problem could be my jaw, so I wanted to make a reasonably priced pair of phones work before jumping into higher end. The HD555 was way too clampy, but I thought this was perfect...now I'm not so sure. It is definitely better than the Senns (both in sound and comfort).
If I keep putting up with it, will it get better? Also, how do the AD700 comfort compare with Beyer? I'm really interested in either DT880 or DT990 (600 ohm), but have no way to try them. Would people say those headphones are more or less comfy/clampy than AD700. Thanks a lot.
