Different people have different comfort issues with headphones.
Some people dislike high clamp force but don't mind some weight from the headband. Others have no problem with high clamp force but are sensitive to headband pressure.
I personally can't wear headphones with a lot of pressure from the headband for more than a few minutes without getting a headache. I had this problem with the Focal Clear. The HD 800 S, with a different headband, were only (barely) bearable for a few hours.
Headphones with high clamp force that I own(ed) include the Sennheiser HD 650 and HIFIMAN Arya. They are super comfortable on my head due to their high clamp force. On the other hand, I've seen people here complain about the HD 600 series' clamp force.
