I also have k240's and find they push my ears into my glasses and I feel your pain, over the year or so I have had them my ears seem to have gotten used to it and it takes alot longer to get uncomfortable now. The comfiest ones for long term use I ever had were some el cheapo behringers that cost me about £20 and sounded a bit like death, but were comfy for hours on end for tracking and what not.

Wow - seems to be some widely diverging views on AKG's... For me, the 240's are the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever owned... 

Not trying to be a wise guy.... take breaks and take them off for 10 minutes or so every hour ...thereabouts.
 
That's what I do when I start to notice pain from them being on.  I also have to place the arms of my glasses over the top of the cans or the pain to the ears comes much more rapidly. I sometimes forget and in about 10 to 15 minutes, I am reminded.

SuperG, do you wear glasses? My akgs are very comfy if I dont wear my glasses, but then I cant see haha

Yes, I do wear glasses. Don't know, but the AKG 240's, to me, seem to have a *very* light pressure. It might be an issue with your glasses being a bit tight to begin with - and the AKG's are simply exacerbating it.

I think its more likey that they dont call me wingnut for nothing :P

I can hardly stand to wear my ATH-M50s but my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro cans are super comfy.

Thanks Herb and everyone,
My problem isn't my head but is the very tips of my ears where the speaker just seems to touch.
I'll try moving my glasses though. I may spring for a set of BDs, I don't know. There is always something vying for the top of the GAS list.
Obi, I'll check your sig and thanks!
This new forum is pretty good huh?

Dupe removed.
 
What about an ear bob? Ears are one (or two) of the things that keep on growing when everything else is shrinking.

I have several different makes of headphones.

For both comfort and sound I highly prefer my KRK headphones.
