I finally bit the bullet and got me a nice new pair of HD650s. I've had quite a few headphones, the most recent ones being the X2s, which I really love, and I've always heard stories about how comfortable the HD650s are.
Well, I put them on my head and the first thing i notice is the clamping force, which I hear gets better after they loosen up a bit and so I'm willing to live with that. What's worse, though, is the headband. After like 30 minutes of wearing them they just dig right into my skull causing burning pain where they rest. Like the headband padding is too narrow to distribute the headphones' weight or something. I've had this issue before with the DT990PRO btw, and I just replaced the padding on those.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this something that goes away like the clamping (I don't know, maybe the padding gets less stiff or something) or is my head just weird and I should return them? X2s feel like a fluffy little cloud gently resting on my head compared to the Sennheisers :\
