May I make a suggestion?

If those are new headphones the pads can sometimes be really rough. I washed mine in shampoo and conditioner, rinsed them very well. let them dry and bam they were much softer.

Makes me be able to listen to them for much longer periods which is important with audiobooks.

Worth a shot! I got a couple different pads to try and find the right ones, so I'm gonna give a couple of those the shampoo treatment. For now the standard pads will have to do, not enough time left to try it with those, but either me or my mom visit every few days anyway, plenty of opportunity to bring him a few different pads to try.

Thanks for the suggestion! :) I usually hate on ears so I don't really have any expierence with them (but granted...the Grados might convince me to give it a shot myself...IEMs and over ears suck when you sit in the sun listening to Lord of the rings while smoking a pipe to be honest)

I'd let him try it first.

I have the same cans and they were perfectly comfortable out of the box. Didn't even have to bend the headband.
