Oh sorry, you didn't mention the budget at first.

 

I wouldn't invest that much in in-ear headphones, $75-125 is a decent budget for comfortable good sounding over-ear headphones.

And that proves only that you haven't found/tried the right ones.

 

Name a few headphones and headset that you used that weren't budget or "gaming" oriented and tell us which part was uncomfortable on them.

For example Audiotechnica MTH 40X with custom pads like the HM5 pads from Brainvawz.

What's your high end setup? Elaborate if you can. I sit at my desk for around 8 hours per day, with headphones, never felt uncomfortable. I use Beyerdynamic dt 990 pro, where I live they go for about 220 euros, which is a bit over your budget, but they are super comfortable. Or you can get some nice in ear monitors for around 150, like Mee audio m7 pro, they are not the best in the market, but I really love them. If you have high end setup invest in headphones or in ear monitors. Both of them are suitable to use with mid to high end setups IMO.Or try getting these : https://www.amazon.com/TIN-T2-Dynamic-Earphone-Headphones/dp/B07DL2FPBL I heard they are very good and the price is great.

I agree, with that budget you could get some good quality/comfortable headphones/headset. I personally love my HyperX Cloud II.

https://www.amazon.com/TIN-T2-Dynamic-Earphone-Headphones/dp/B07DL2FPBL These are very good, lower price should not discourage you, many iem's that are much pricier are shit compared to these, my friend has them, they are very good, and there are many reviews, look them up. Oh, and get comply foam tips, no matter which iem's you will end up buying, they increase comfort and sound quality IMO.

Those Bose seem somewhat small, I don't think my ears would fit inside them.

 

I'm using HyperX Cloud (Takstar Pro80) with HM5 pads and I can game for hours without any issues although I'm wearing glasses and have to extend the Clouds to full (big head).

With the original pads, I had some comfort issues when wearing them multiple days in a row after 3-4 hours.

 

There's no way that 8-10-12mm drivers (from the IEM-s) can sound anywhere near to decent 40-50-60mm drivers.

 

Do you need the headphones to have a microphone?

I agree, but if he just can't get used to headphones, iem's are the way to go.

The truth is, he can get decent IEM-s and also decent headphones TOGETHER.

That might be even better. If it was me, I would do exactly that.

I recently got the Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum (though i'm a bit more on the gamer side of things) and i usually have a problem with headphones, but these seem to be good so far, i mainly use them when playing games, watching media and playing VR, so probably about 7hrs a day. it would pay to go into a shop and see different options available 

(i have not really used many "expensive" in ear wired earphones as i switched to bluetooth earphones due to the wires getting in the way while working so i don't know of many options avaliable)

 

Also as a side note my father (bit of an audiophile) commended the G933 for their ability to not destroy themselves when the EQ was messed with and the volume on Maximum, and at the time of their arrival i was suffering from an ear infection and could not wear my G322 (i think they were), and in ear earphones where not an option, but the G933 seemed to not bother the ear

I say the tin t2 with comply comfort eartips. Pretty good sound stage and imaging and very neutral which is good for gaming and get a better cable for it all should total about a 100

.other options I have not heard but are apparently great for gaming are the ibasso It01 if you want a v shaped sound signature.

But if you do have a little more cash lying around apparently bthe moondrop kanas pro is supposed to be excellent.

I think it's possible that he lives in a very warm climate and from my own experience vacationing to tropical countries over ears suck they are hot and no matter how comfortable they are. They  feel awful.
