I bought my first high-end headphones a week ago, they were very comfortable! but after a week, my left ear starts to feel awful, I tried lowering and raising the earcup, I listen to low volumes and my left ear still hurts!
 
the funny thing is that I wore them for a lot during the first week, and the last 2 nights they cause me pain!
Should I put a pillow between them and let them get loose? it's funny that it's only the left ear, it' a weird kind of pain.
I keep pushing them back and forth but it doesn't help at all!
Any suggestions :frowning2:? I also feel like my ears kind of touch the speakers

I have the same thing happening with my left ear and I have the Sennheiser HD600, do you happen to have long hair that covers the ear? It helps me when I move my hair out of the way before I put them on.

Sadly I have short hair. I just found out the pain gets worse when I push my jaw or move my head around! I took the earpads out and gently put them around my ears, it still hurts!

And I like Arctic monkeys too :D

Sorry for the late reply! That is weird, i can't recommend any other solution, that is the weirdest thing, never had that issue with my old HD558 which are virtually the same, hopefully you find a solution! try reddit.com/r/headphones.
 
Arctic monkeys are great! Cheers!
