help? Ath-Msr7 headband comfort mod?

[zwillmaster]

I just got the msr7's and i love them,but even after trying to stretch the headband it is still very uncomfortable, and they are really hurting the top of my head.

I was wondering if the zmf pilot pad would make a difference, or if some kind of diy solution would help.

I don't really want to change the pads because i don't want to mess up the sound.

Any help at all would be much appreciated.

I was also thinking about maybe trying the HD 600 headband replacement pads, with doubled sided tape,but im not sure how they will work.

HI Zwillmaster,

I have the MSR 7 & initally when I first got them a long while ago, I had a similar issue, I would suggest adjusting the headband to a bigger size & I haven't had a problem since.
This may work for you.
Hope this works.

Thank you for your advise however this doesnt really help me it still only rests on the top point of my head and causes a hot spot shortly after wearing

Hi @zwillmaster,

The only other thing I can suggest aside from adjusting the headband size is to change to thicker pads like zmf cowhide, this also works when fit issues are potentially tight like you experience.
