So I've been hunting for a good wireless pair of cans (up to ~€350, available in Europe, don't care about ANC or app features as long as the sound is worth the money, neutral sound preference with at most a slight bass boost) for a while now, and it all keeps returning to the same issue - they keep hurting the top of my head because they don't clamp all that hard and the whole package ends up hanging right off of that narrow headband. Even the B&W Px7 S2 and CA Melomania P100, my favourite picks otherwise, quickly ended up hurting my head despite all the praise for their comfort. Apparently I've just got a steeper dome than most, while I don't mind earcups that really snap on as long as they have good cushions - my wired mainstays are a 1MORE H1707 and Senn HD560S, both of which I can wear for hours without any trouble even with glasses, despite their reputation for clamping down. The Grado GW100x were also quite comfortable, but there I just couldn't get used to their on-ear sound signature. So what's there left to try in the wireless department that'll give my head a good squeeze? I did leave the Senn Momentum 4 and Bose QC 45 as a last resort yet just because I'm a little bored of consumer tuning so feel free to recommend those if they fit the bill, but what else is there to try besides just piling on extra padding and hoping that helps instead?
