Hi. I bought the Audio Technica AWAS and the headband padding is a little to thin so not that good comfort.

Got any tips for what to put underneath for extra padding?

Foam to cut out, cloth, dedicated extra headband paddings. What material works best?

I don't know about the Audio Technica, but I put a ZMF Co-Pilot pad on my RAAL-requisite SR1a and that worked great.

You can buy an actual airline pilot pad, this is UK Amazon but I'm sure you can purchase in beautiful Sweden https://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Hea...hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584276312382215&psc=1

I wouldn't waste your money on the ZMF one because it is vastly overpriced and the one I had kept falling off

Also got tip that sennheiser hd25 extra pad will work for Audio Technica AWAS.

That looks good and no need to destroy with glue.

The cheap fix is at a dollar store you can get black wrist/ankle braces which are black stretchy cloth with velcro to just strap on to a headband that's too uncomfortable. It's removable and washable also.

Very good idea @dunring

Bought the David Clark Head Pad.

ATH-AWAS loosed some of its bass weight when i use the David Clark Head Pad. Otherwise works great for presure relief but resulting in not as good sounding.

The clamp force gets looser with it and the earcups angle probably change then or how close the drivers are to the ear.

I can still use it for HD650 which have a flattened headband which i have removed.

HI!
After 50 years of headphone use, i develop pain on the top of my head. I add 2 layers of bubble wrap about 1X1/2 inch over each ZMF co-pilot bumps on the side of the headband, cover the headband with a seat belt cover from walmart. That leave a small gap over the painful spot. It look funny but it is comfortable. Of course, one don't need a co-pilot pad to do the trick, just adjust the thickness of bubble wrap.
