Hello

Ive tried I think 3 headphones (DT 770 AKG K371 and DT 990) While each have been getting better and better, I still get hot ears and they are pretty much uncomfy.

I think Ive pretty much faced reality that over ear headphones are simply not for me. I perfer on ear ones that allow me to be comfy.

I hate the iBud crap or whatever its called type headphones even more.

I mostly listen to hip-hop so I want the headphones to be oriented towards that. I also listen to movies and plan to use them while streaming Twitch.

My budget I think is set at 300 euros. I dont wanna go higher than than. That being said, I am flexible so.....

Thanks

Maybe some Grados.

Look for some Dekoni sheepskin, fenestrated pads. They always feel cool when I put them on my ears.

Real leather pads are certainly better than the fake leather crap. But foam on-ears are still cooler than any over ear.

Actually, I hesitate to ever recommend Grados if someone is complaining about the physical effects on their ears. The open foam of Grados can be quite harsh and gives a rash to some people. They also soak the outside of the bowl pads with some sort of lacquer or glue to maintain their shape, potentially aggravating a reaction on the skin.

They've never bothered me, but I personally know people who can't even listen to a Grado because of the reaction on their ears.

I agree that other foam-on-ear headphones are much more comfortable, but it depends on what pad with what headphone, when it comes to Grados.

I had a pair of Sennheisers in the 1980s that was perfect for this. Light as a feather, you didn't even know you had them on. Try as I might I cannot remember which model.

HD700. Light and great ventilation. Feels like they aren't even there at times. You can find a great used set in your price range.

I cant find them online it seems, might not be sold in europe

I mean, changing pads is maybe a idea....On the DT 990? Any ideas?

Or maybe there is a way to convert them on ear (using smaller pads)?

knowing what three headphones you have already tried would be a really big help in providing recommendations.....

Sorry. Added.

Maybe some Beyerdynamic Aventho could fit your bill.

Somewhat of a give and take scenario. Heat vs pressure. I can't handle the pressure on my ears from on ear cans. Not for long anyways. If me, I'd try the Dekoni Elite Hybrid pads for your Beyerdynamic cans. If set with on ears, I'd look into the Sennheiser HD 25, and the Thinksound On2. Definitely 2 of the better sounding I've heard.

I have dt770s and if its warm my head get hot and i sweat pretty bad, to the point i can't use them if its warm in the house. They're like wearing earmuffs.

I also have some k7xxs and they dont give me any problems.

Closed back vs opened i assume. The problem will be finding a good open back with enough bass for hip hop..

The HD 25s are great cans but they're also hot. If you use velour pads it will probably destroy the bass and sound signature.
