^^ They never do. Some are more accommodating than others though.
If you have the room, you could always try adding a Sennheiser cushion:

P.S. Just got a package in from one Mr. Justin Wilson...

The paint is way too dark for the he400. I'd say he-4 or maybe 5le...

HE-400?
Yup! I'm still at work and I'm busy this evening, so my first try with them will have to wait until tomorrow morning...the ultimate test of patience! I'm still waiting for my Magni to arrive and I've got a pair of the j$ pads on the way.
The picture is of HE-500 I believe. The other recommendation I've seen is to use the Beyerdynamic snap-on cushion commonly seen on their DTXXX-Pro models, but I've read they are a tight fit.
They are only a tight fit IF you try to snap all the buttons. I'd recommend that you don't, and instead just clip the two end ones, like this:
It is actually better IMO because it doesn't bunch the foam in the middle up so much, so the padding ends up being softer.
This is what I thought at first too, but the material is really awesome and it's loosened up a bunch in the middle, while still keeping it tight around the top with all the buttons clipped for me.
I'm not sure, either. Intimidation? Desire of a pure, untouched sound? If one just stays on the path to try and achieve the perfect sound without any EQ, they will be on a life-long journey.
You guys and your headbands. The real discomfort is in the earpads!
