Hello everyone! I own an Audio-Technica M50x. In fact, I love it so much that I bought a new one after the previous one broke. The problem I face is that I wear the headphones almost every single day for long durations, and as a result, a part of my ears has developed scars. Unfortunately, these scars keep reappearing every few months, even after they have healed from not using the headphones for a few days. That's why I'm looking for a true circumaural headphone - something super comfortable that doesn't touch my ears but instead envelops them. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Sticking with closed headphones or are open an option?

For closed you could go with the Hifiman Sundara Closed-Back or the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro

@HipHopScribe Thank you! I never really had an open headphone so I don't how it would feel, I guess for now I only care about it being comfy. By the way I also own a ifi-audio-nano-idsd-bl that is connected to my PC, which ohm version of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro do you think I should buy?

I’d probably just go with the 80 ohm

I use the Hifiman he5xx and the cups are rounded and big enough never to touch your ears. Well rounded for gaming or music and I wear them all day with no discomfort or treble fatigue.

Measure your ears before you get Beyers. The DT700 Pro X are not circumaural for me. They rest on the pinnae.

Thank you! I found a seller that supports return without asking any questions , this way I can make sure it fits my ears.
