Hello, I am new to the forum, though I've used it as a resource quite a bit.
TL;DR up front: Does anyone know of more comfortable earpads I could replace the stock Onkyo pads with (40mm)? Preferably ones that would turn them into circumaural as opposed to supra-aural.
Uncut version: Basically I recently bought the Onkyo FCs after being extremely impressed by the sound for the price. However, within the last two weeks I've found them to be quite uncomfortable to wear. They're halfway between on-ear and over-ear, so I either have them pressing against the backs of my ears causing physical pain, or I have the drivers practically touching my ears causing sonic pain.
I went to return them, but then at the last second decided to keep them as I love their sound and was concerned about finding something as good. I'm hoping the earpads might soften up after some use, but if I could replace the stock pads for ones that would fit around my ear, or maybe be memory foam or something, that would be perfect. So my question is: Does such a thing exist?
Also, if anyone wants some extra firsthand impressions of the Onkyos - as there isn't a great deal on the web - feel free to ask Though I don't have a great deal of experience of other headphones for comparisons.
