It's too uncomfortable. But damn I love how they sound.

I want to listen to them all the time, but I feel like they are pressing too hard against my temporals. I get a headache after too long.

Any way to resolve this comfort issue? Any hardcore modders here wanna take this on?

Cheers.

Did you extend the little cushions that touch your head?they are adjustable.

I just found out that I could

It doesn't murder me now.

A little better, but any other options? I read around placing it on a book or something to let it stretch out.

That would affect my resale value, haha.

I wouldn't mod the K1k for that very reason. If you decide they're not for you after all, you're lopping $300+ off the resale cost, and potential buyers typically like phones in great condition.

It might be just as painful, but perhaps it might be a good idea to let your temporal area heal a bit; when you're better, place the phones so that they rest closer to the bony part of your head. Pressing on the soft spots can, for some, be like giving yourself a headache. At least that's been my experience.

Just try gently bending the red part of the headband, it won't change a huge amount, but you can get it to clamp a little less that way.

thanks, I think I reached a bearable happy medium on the pressure.

Still, it's not as comfortable as I would like.

How about an ugly cottonball-ducktape mod around the cushions.

Ugly anything wouldn't look out of place on those cans tbfh.

See if you can get used to it. Take some headache medicine if it gets bad.

What about wearing an athletic headband with the K-1000? Cheap, available, won't hurt resale, and might work.

Perhaps some local anaesthetic cream applied to the temples a few minutes before listening?

The solution is to send them to me, then you don't have to feel pain when you wear them. :-|

The pads are held on with sticky goo, now you can take the front ones off and put them on backwards. This prevents the tip of the wedge pad from digging in your head. Bending the red arms will also ease the pressure.

Some suggestions:
* Replace the temple pads.
* Bend (out) the headband.
* Spread the temple pads apart (the back pair are adjustable).
