I’m wanting to get another set of over ears to replace my k240s. I love the sound signature, but I hate the fact that they feel like they are going to fall off of my head every 3 seconds.
Any rec’s for something similar sounding that won’t completely break the bank?
I have,
Fiio k3
Es100
Topping nx3s
All getting signal from either iPhone or laptop using amazon music hd. I’d prefer something that is balanced, or easily modded to balanced, ie, cable swap.
TIA.

Or just slowly bend the steel headband bit by bit, until the clamping pressure increases to the perfect amount?

Try replacing the head strap with a slightly smaller leather one. I had a custom one made for about $20 at a local leather shop. A smaller strap tightens up the fit.

Yeah...if I remember correctly I had him draw a template from the original, and then we moved the hole up on the band a little, so the headband would have a little less slack in it.
