You're telling me you can't look down with your LCDs on?

Look ≠ bang. HD800 falls off when I tilt my head forward. LCD-XC will shift and lose its ideal position for listening when head banging to rock. Small head. I’m 50 and shop in the kids section for hats.

I feel you on the LCDs, mine slide forward - that was kinda my point. I didn't realize the HD800s would fall off worse than the LCDs, especially when they're roughly 200g less in weight. Guess the clamping pressure? Never worn a pair of 800s.

I purchased the HD800s 3rd hand from A/V Exchange and clamping force was a concern. Fortunately, I can refrain from sudden movements when listening to jazz at the desk.

I'd like to start picking up a few different things in the future. Kinda going to keep my eye on Focal ELEX's, maybe HD800s? Unsure. I know the for sure would be the Focals.

Just need to keep an eye on A/V Exchange and such.
