I wear headphones hours at a time at work (3, 4, 5, sometimes more). I have a pair of HE-500s which I like a lot, but I find that the weight really exacerbates my TMJ to the point that I cannot use them any longer, and will probably have to sell them.  I have not had this issue with my Beyerdynamic DT-990s, and while I haven't worn my Denon AHD-7000s for that long at a time, their weight and clamping force is similar to the Beyers, so I do not see them causing this issue as well. In the experience of those who own the HE-560, how are they in relation to the HE-500s vs. for example, the Beyers? I'd rather not lay out that amount of money for the HE-560s if in a few months I will be in pain and unable to use them.
 
Thank you.

I know I can directly compare the weights of the various headphones. I am looking for comments from head-fiers who have owned both the HE-500 and HE-560 to compare how they feel on their head, and if possible, for 560 owners to compare the 560 with other headphones they have owned. Once again, thank you.
