We all have different head and ear shapes.
YES!
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).
For ham radio, go with comfort -- bass response is something we don't
need (or want). Music is a different story -- go with comfort AND bass
response.
Ear pads affect low end (bass) response by improving the air seal
between the phones and the head. It's also improved by a headband that
clamps the phones more tightly to the head.
