We all have different head and ear shapes. I purchased a pair of MDR-7506 headphones based on some raves on this list to give them a try. Although they sound fine, I couldn’t wear them with their original ear-pads for more than an hour at a time. They mashed my ears, hurt, and were tiring. I ended up purchasing Auray Extra Deep Ear Pads for them (from BH Photo), which fit around, rather than on, the ears, and they are much more comfortable — at least for me. The pads increase sound isolation somewhat, and do slightly increase low end (no impact on highs that I’ve observed).
