hi guys
i understand i'm in audiophile's land and i'll soon be teared to pieces but anyway...
 
i just got a pair of this Sony MDR-V55
 
to me they sound ok, but the main problem is after half an hour or so i start to feel pain
its like they are too tight or they press too much
 
is there anything i can do?
my ears look absolutely normal from a size point of view, will i feel pain with every headphones on the market? i am stuck with in-ear hearphones?

Welcome to head-fi...sorry about your wallet. 

 I do not think that the headband of that sony can be adjusted for clamp. But...lot's of full sized hp's can be adjusted for clamp. Anything with a metal headband can be adjusted by stretching or bending the band, usually. 
 
Often times you can take a stack of books that is slightly wider than the width of your head and put your hp's on the stack for a night or two and get less clamp. Be careful not to over compress the pads. Pad compression will also loosen the clamp over time. 
 
gL!!

thanks matt, sounds like a sensible advice - i'll try!
i bought them with amazon, i could return them hassle-free, but if i can keep and use them i'm happier

The force of the clamp lowers after a few months of using it. Mine already fell more comfortable. Bought it Aug. 2012.
