I guess I never paid attention to it before but I measured out my ears and my left one is definitely a protruding ear. I just recently brought an SHP 9600 hoping the huge ear cup size would be the comfort I was seeking all this time but not even it can help me. My left ear is constantly irritated and touch the wall of the ear cup. Does anyone else have this issue? This is is probably a silly and idiotic idea but I was thinking of taping the edges of my ear down when I want to use headphones so I can fit it inside the ear cup. Is this a bad idea? I’m really desperate at this point but I have no more money to spend after buying the headphones and I doubt there is a headset that will help me at this point.
Same for me with my left ear. I have big ears and have to have the earlobes pinched at the bottom but that’s ok. The burning feeling always comes to the top of my left ear. Not always though. Some days it feels just fine for a long gaming session. Using hyper xcloud alpha by the way.
I can get a relief by pushing the headphones backwards a little bit and/or adjusting the headband and angle it forward or back on top of the head you know. Angle the earcups a bit.
Ever tried buying like wicked cushions big earcups? They’re really deep and wide.
