That is because you have flattened the pads. Get these: https://www.electromod.co.uk/products/dekoni/EliteVelour/Dekoni-Elite-Velour-Ear-pads-for-Beyerdynamic-DT770-880-990-Headphones/

These are sooo much comfortable and they are memory foam. Which means it will take a long long time before they get squished. They are larger as well. Gives you a better soundstage imo.

 

Also we all aren't symmetrical in the ears or head so it might be touching more because your ear on the right is bigger or something like that. But get these pads if you want maximal comfort and great sound.

PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio.

Yeah they are going to effect the sound signature not quality. For the better imo. Also I meant like they are flat because they push on your head tightly. The standard pads are much smaller than the ones I linked tho.

I absolutely get your point! Try some other headphone then. I think AKG k700 series has some big earcups. Same with sennheiser hd58x's

I don't get bothered at all! I don't think they are as big as the logitech ones. Maybe. I haven't really measured

They shouldn't be flattened if the pads are new. My pads are a month old and my pads aren't flattened yet fully. It's possible one ear is bigger or pressure distribution is just not exact. To test that just try flipping orientation and see how it fits .

yeah i tried it's my ear, so i think the dekoni is going to be comfortable, but i don't think they will be worth it because the headphones itself with the shipping was 221 so yeah
but hd58x will be with the shipping 175 so i think they may be worth money. thanks everyone for the help
