My experience with cans is very limited. For a couple of evenings I had a pair of hd600's running off a musical fidelity x-can v3 and while I generally liked what I heard, I found the sound a little fatiguing, and could not get accustomed to the pressure these cans placed on the skull and in/around the ears. The word 'congested' also came to mind....
It took only a few seconds with a stax 30xx system to realise that this was a headphone I could easily live with forever.
I have also sampled a single track on the AKG k1000's and felt moved by the music in a way I have only ever felt twice since. No pressure on the skull too.
Now that I am looking at purchasing a system, I figure, based on this limited experience, that only Stax or K1000s will do.
Have you had a similar experience of not finding 'regular' full sized dynamic headphones to your liking for the same reasons, but over time adjusted to the pressure on the skull, and the pressure in and around the ears?
