Audio DT770 Pro Discomfort Issue!

[ithehappy]

I am probably the only one person who will say this, but I find this headphone very painful to wear. I don't have particularly large ears but they are bigger than average ( 7 cm from top to bottom, yes, I measured , the radius of the ear cup gap is 5.6 cm if I am not wrong) and there is no way my whole ear will fit completely inside the ear cups of the DT770, causing me a tremendous amount of pain after one hour without AC, couple of hours with.

So the thing is will I be crazy enough to sell it? And if I do then what should I buy? 10-12k is the budget, probably could be increased a bit for something really good. But comfort has to be the main goal (apart form sound quality obviously). I previously had the Sony 100AAP and M40X, the Sony was really comfortable, and don't remember the M40X much as I used it only for couple of hours.

Thanks in advance.

yes you are the only person who said this because those are comfy as hell

I think you need something with HM5 Pad...maybe a HM5 itself may suits you....

Nah can't keep this, need something new guys. Any suggestions? Around 15k or something, closed.

is that 32 ohm, 80 or 250 or 600 version? Can you please rate the sound quality of headphone? I am looking to buy these headphones but they are quit expensive.

32 ohms. Sound quality is good. This definitely needs a DAC to have the best possible output though, without DAC they sound pretty average.

Do you have a sound preference? tilted towards bass?
If not, get the dt 880

If you are open to buy open-end headphones , nothing matches the comfort level of AD700, if you want a closed end you have the a900 for around 14k with exactly similar design. I used the ad700 for around 2 years , the highest i have stayed with a headphone till date

nothing matches the comfort level of AD700

I can vouch for this. AD700 are the most comfortable pair of headphones that I have ever used. I have used my set for over 5 years and would have continued for a while, but unfortunately, one of the speaker wires came loose and while trying to open and fix it by myself, I broke them. I am using a DT990 Pro right now and while I don't have too much problem using these, they are no where close to AD 700 in comfort level.
