1000+ Head-Fier
When you wear the ZMF Ori, is there supposed to be any pressure of the earpads to your skull? I never had any pressure on my ears when I had them, so I never got a good seal (I am assuming this is why I did not get a good seal). I am a touch worried since my head is a little rounder than most peoples (Hifiman Ananda for example, fell all the way down on my head, even on its shortest setting, my top ear was curling because it was hitting the pad quite a bit. So the distance from my ear to top of my head is a little off compared to most people I guess.
I am hoping Zach's other cans support oddly shaped heads like mine, or will have lower settings. Perhaps I can show you what I mean in person during the meet and some of you can give me some pointers. I have tried well over 100 headphones over the years, and I seem to come across this problem a lot, where I do not get the same seal as other people. ZMF Cowhide pads have helped a ton with this issue since they are so large, they sort of force a little seal for me, but they work for a very small percentage of cans. AKG K7xx fit perfect and are very comfortable though, so I am not sure what the deal is.
