Neumann NDH 30

This is the most studio like sounded headphones I have ever heard, everything sounds so clear and precise without fatigue.

Unfortunately the comfort is just not there. Besides the ear pads could be bigger and deeper so my ears would not touch the headphones inside, the most painful part is the thin headband. Even though the headband is cushioned with plush foam, it’s simply too thin and narrow, which means the weight of the headphones is focused on a small area of your head. I started feeling pain on my head after using for half hour, and I observed that my scalp where touches the headband turned reddish. Neumann should have designed a much wider and flatter headband cushion for more even weight distribution.
