Hey guys, so after getting some money i've been getting into you know audiophile headphones, but a lot of headphones have given me neck cramps from extended use 1-2 hours. Is it cuz of the clamping or weight? Because i really want to buy the Audio Technica Pro700mk2. Also how is the comfort level of those?
 
Thanks:)

If you wear them a little to the back of your head, then it could cause some neck strain since most of the weight is on put on the back. That's usually how I wear them, but I've gotten used to it.
 
Otherwise, I have no idea...

Straighten your back, you slacker
 
Also, turn your head to the side while pulling your chin outward so your shoulders don't knock your headphones.
 
And, take breaks. My T50RP's are up for about half an hour before I rest, just slide down to my neck, and flip back up later.
 
I forget I'm wearing my HD598's, but that's the weight and comfort for ya'
