MKII Closed-Back Studio Headphones (Open Box)

I bought these after having heard some recommendations from some very stute audiophile reviews. At first listen, I really fell in love with the amount of detail. It is true that at first it sounds very digital, almost like the music was passing through a photoshop filter for sound. But after some breakin, the sound actually got much better and I don't hear that nearly as much as I did initially, some songs do seem to still pass that off. But my main complaint and the only reason why I returned them was that the entire weight of the headphones would rest solely on the crown of your head. You see, there is zero clamping pressure which forces the headphones to focus somewhere to support its weight. The arc of the headphone band is actually more flat like a very flat upside-down "U" as opposed to a more "open "U" this creates all the pressure to be focused at one point. If they just made it more of a curved headband the pressure would be displaced throughout a greater surface area on your head instead of just one spot. The apex on your head. The last thing is that there is zero padding, it's the thinnest padding of any headphone next to the sony 7506, however it is super hard and not at all soft to the touch. Those 3 facts makes this the most uncomfortable headphone that I've ever used, but unfortunately I was torn in wanting to keep it because the mids were so pleasant and made listening a really joyous experience. These things are super detailed and very analytical. You can disect how something was mixed just on the detail from these cans, unfortunately the comfort is actually painful. And if you try to mod it by adding a comfort strip on the top, it really affects how the earpads come down on your hear and how the sound gets to your ears. It's really hard to find a good combo and not worth it to spend extra money just to mod it. AKG should be spending just a fraction more just to make it feel comfortable. I'm not the only one. There's people on forums who complain about this. Why make a product only to stop 98 Percent from completion to have the 2 percent tarnish it and make it unwearable for all the work you put into it? It really is a great set of cans otherwise.
