1000+ Head-Fier
Quick follow-up on night three of ownership. I REALLY like the sound of these headphones. Stunning for $150.
But ... the headband might be the most uncomfortable I've worn on any headphone in my life. I get a serious headache within 30 minutes of wearing these due to seemingly all of the weight of these cans being centered on a small hotspot in the dead center of the band. I've tried adjusting the cups, with no luck.
I'm bald, so I don't have anything to act as additional padding. And I have a pretty big head. But these are downright painful on the top of the head despite fitting very nice around the ears.
Maybe I'll try the old style HE-400i with the suspension headband or return these and save for the Sundaras. No chance I can keep these if this fit persists. Bummer, as they sound lovely for $150.
More testing and tweaking ahead.
