Comfy headphone recs? (alien.top)

The top of my head gets so sore while gaming. I own Bose QC 35, but they are just not comfortable for me and I’ve been suffering through wearing them for years. The biggest issue is the headband pressure with a really sensitive scalp.

I’ve found the mesh headband of AirPods Max to be nice when I tried them on, but not sure I want to spend that much on them.

What are your most comfy headphone recs for sensitive big heads? 😅

I know that feeling, still searching for some good wireless headphones because of that comfort issue. Until now I tested Anker Soundcore Life 35, Bose QC 45 and Sennheiser Accentum. With all of them after hour or two I felt that pain on the top of the head and returned them. I gave up honestly, the only headphone I'm using every day for several hours without hots spots on the top of the head are my wired DT1990 Pro. The shape of the band matches my head shape exactly, so there are no spots with more or less pressure. But your mileage may of course vary depending on your individual head size and shape. The only way I think is just try different models out on Amazon etc., maybe you'll find something in the end, wish you luck!
