The M100 with XL pads is extremely comfy. There is still some clamp, but the force is much better dispersed on the head, particularly on the back of the cheek in front of the ear. They are definitely now more comfortable than any on-ear headphones I've worn extensively, such as the B&W P5, the AT ATH-ESW9, and the M80. Bigger over-ear sealed headphones like the AT A900X are still more comfortable around the ear, but the bigger over-ear sealed headphones are usually heavier, and can cause some discomfort on the top of my head. The M100 doesn't feel as heavy when worn. The only issue I can see right now is of course heat buildup -- they will serve as amazing earmuffs in December!
