I received Fostex T50RP mkIII's awhile ago as a gift, they sound pretty good.. They are super hard to drive but I have that covered pretty well .. DV336 and various vintage amps/ preamps with powerfull headphone sections..
however.. these things are like medieval torture device on my head for any length of time..
debating on options.. i don't even think the super thin ear pads are the main problem, i think the skull vice clamp force is the main issue for me.. does anyone have the MrSpeakers leather comfort strap for these.. if so how do you like it / how much does it mitigate the fairly heavy clamping force these headphones seem to have?
I'm considering ear pad options.. it seems many like shure 1540 pads on these? right now I tried the Shure 840 pads I usually have on my M50X's however they change the sound a bit and don't really help comfort-wise that much?
certainly my DT770's or 880's are muuuch more comfortable than the T50RP so far.
