I don't have a very large head I think, it's pretty normal. I guess I'm looking for something unusual when looking for a headphone which can keep my happy for various hours, but it's something I'd really like to find. The top of the head is no problem here for me, it's more the underside of the pads that kind of annoy me. I'm pretty sure that I'm not wearing them wrongly, and I've tried moving them around a bit, but I guess I can't really help it here.
It's not that the clamping pressure is too strong at first. But with the contact it makes to different spots on my head it may be that this level of "pain" only shows over time.
I guess I could try and stretch them, but I wouldn't want to break them. They don't seem to be that sturdy.

Interesting. I guess I'll have to wait a bit for GS1000 to happen though. Considering the feedback I could try the DT880.

The HD650's (in my experience) have a lot more clamping force, and thus to me, would be less comfortable than the K701's. I have to kind of stretch the HD650's out befroe putting them on. |
