I wonder, can in-ears cause the skin on the ear canal to toughen? Same with on-ears that have a lot of pressure. My pfr-v1 makes the entrance of my ear canal numb from its ducts. Sigh, if not for that it'd be the most comfortable headphones ever. All headphones should adopt Sony's metal bands+nylon mesh, should be law .

There's no reason for the skin not to toughen or thicken with repeated irritation from a device in the ear.  It just depends on how much irritation is occurring.

I dunno if I should be posting this here. I've had my Ultrasone HFI-780 just about a year now (give or take a week or two), thanks to this site recommending to me, and just recently have noticed that my skull has like an 'indent', probably where the suture is. Only noticed a while ago - maybe 1-3 months ago - and thought I've always had it.


Just today I realized that the top 'band' part of my headphones was placed perfectly into this 'indent'.


I use my headphones quite a lot, have it on for extended periods and I was thinking maybe people at this forum do so as well. I don't think my headphones were ever placed on too tight. Is it possible that after using it for so long this happened? My parents can't remember if I've always had it and its not noticeable in any pictures past or present. I'm sort of worried.

I have the same thing I first noticed it after I got my Beyerdynamic dt 860's and I just got some Ultrasone dj1's and I don't remember having it before I'm 14 so I assume this shouldn't happen but it feels like these two headphones put a lot of pressure in that region I also wear headphones a lot

LOL. That's just too funny to pass up commenting on. How could the soft, albeit constant pressure of headphones deform your skull, that is, believe me, pretty thick and hard? It doesn't even seem logical to me. And on top of it, indenting it without even you feeling pain? I don't think so.

I would suggest not putting your headphones on your infant child for extended listening sessions as that could affect the proper development of their skull, otherwise I think your good to go.
 
I went to school with 'Downtown' Tony Brown and with a close haircut it looked like he got hit in the head with a shovel because his parents put him the same sleeping position as a baby and his skull developed a flat spot.

Beleive it or not i have a set of plantronics headphones and the same exact thing happened to me! I always thought it was the skin that was a little dented not the skull.

It's only the skin. I have an indentation on my temples made by my eyeglasses' frames, as I never take them off save for when I sleep, bathe, or play contact sports. Larger frames only benefit me for reading a they're usually larger downwards, which doesn't fix the fact that I have the most un-Indo-European nose. Frames that are larger above the earpiece just feel too dorky for me, unless I can at least repair it with a single word ("reparo!"), but then again I might be living under the stairs.

 

[nooch55]

Yes, I believe it is possible because the same exact thing happened to me and I have the Astro a40 headset

Wonder how tight the Mayans wore their headphones.

These might do it!

"Headphones, back then, were basically just misunderstood technology. The aliens, having piloted spacecraft, were wearing headphones much like aircraft pilots on earth today, in our present time, but when our ancestors saw their headshapes and the headphones, they misunderstood what they were for and the relationship between the design. The headphones didn't indent their skulls, the headphones were shaped to fit the aliens' skulls. Our ancestors however thought process however was to imitate these superior beings, both their magical sound devices as well as their skull shape."
