Ok so I already own Sony MDR-V900HD's. I think they're a set of cans, but I'm looking for something a bit more comfortable. Two issues with these--first is that they really steam up my ears. The second is they're not as comfortable as I'd like. These are the second pair of full cans I bought (after Senn HD201s), and I got them for very little money off of eBay.
Main use for these is listening to rock & roll with occasional metal or classic thrown in. My roommate plays guitar horribly, so I enjoy the isolating aspect of these present V900HD cans. The comfort aspect is just with my left ear. I don't know really--I have larger-than-average ears I guess.
So the $75-90 question... for the money ($85.56 for HD280 Pros, $89.95 for HD555s, or $75.93 for AD700s), what is best? Would sound quality be downgraded? Is there anything I can do about these V900HD's to make them more comfortable and less steamy?
