I recently purchased the Sundara Closed to try out. Got them for $130 so I figured they were worth the try. I actually like the sound of them, but I get discomfort and some pain in my right jaw joint when wearing them. These are the heaviest headphones I’ve had (I daily drive the Sennheiser PC38X at home, and I used the SHP9500s before those, but I need closed-back for the office). The pads are nice and soft, and I tried stretching the headphones over some books for a little bit. I don’t feel like the clamp force is too high, but maybe it is. Or maybe their shape and weight puts pressure on just the right spot. Is there anything I should try before returning them? I ordered some DT 770s to compare since I’ve heard a lot of good things about them. I have IEMs, but they eventually hurt.
