Bluetooth headset with Really low clamping force for casual use?

Meczox_

So I've been on the search for a low clamping force headset to listen to music and casual use when I'm in the library because I have an extremely weak jaw. As for references the headset that I wore and felt fine are gaming headset such as the hyper x stinger and the artis 3 but for the artis 3 I needed a few weeks to lesson the clamping force. I even return the sony-wh1000xm3 because the clamping force was too much and my jaw line hurt. As so the price i would prefer it to be around 100$ but I can stretch it and ANC is not needed its just a bonus if it does have it.

Look at maybe the AKG K7xx, they are really comfy with almost no clamping force. Skullcandy Grind Wireless etc. are good ones too

Well I know that the wired koss headphones are excellent so it got me looking at this Koss KSC35.  Absolutely no clamping force and on cheaper products Koss knows how to knock it out of the park.

 

I'm going to do some research and come back to reply or edit this response when I learn about the rep of these.

 

For reference the Koss KPH30iK are god tier when it comes to bang for the buck.  With that budget you could do what I did for my dad on christmas, kph30i with fiio btr3 and run it off your phone.  Here is the review of the kph30i mod

 

Also depending on the type of headband you can reverse bend it to remove clamp force

 

edit: another option is the KSC75 and the fiio ubtr (no experience with the ubtr) or the fiio btr3

 

Here is a zeos review of the KSC75 just remember that zeos is excited about everything he reviews.  But he's a lover of the budget koss line and I agree 100% with the kph30i

For Clamping force, you can make the clamping force lighter by 'widening' (sorry for lack of words) the headphone for some time, for example, if you have a headphone that has too big of a clamping force, you can put the headphone on something that's t h i c c or something else (just enough, not to the point you're stretching it to the point it looks uncomfortable for the headphone), it should lessen the clamping force. Although, for presumably best result (from my experience that is), do check on it from time to time, like, try them on, you don't want to have the clamping force being close to non-existent either.

Get a bluetooth adapter like Fiio BTR series or Shanling and you can make any wired headphone wireless.
