Just picked up a pair of these headphones and I can already tell that the cans are too shallow on my ears. They touch the back of the cushions and it actually causes quite a bit of pain after an hour of use. Anyone know of anybody who’s making deeper versions of these?!
The Airpods Max are some of the deepest ear cups and soundboxes available. If your ears are too big for them, then you must have rather large ears. Others may have a larger circumference, but you're probably not going to find a deeper earcup in a wireless Audiophile headset. I've seen some slightly deeper that are wired (Meze 99's, Focal headsets, etc), but not many that are deep and wireless.
I actually have used Bose headphones for years and they are flawless in comfort, but are extremely annoying to use when you own more than two apple products, as they do not play well with connectivity. My ears aren’t that big. They’re just pressure sensitive and with my line of work (video editing) and with being in the gym 8-10 hours a week, having even the smallest bit of pressure on the ear lobe becomes extremely painful after hours. I tend to wear a pair of cans for between 5-8 hours a day.
