Might just consider new pads to see how much difference they make. It's an inexpensive experiment.

Worth showing what I use today:
https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/ath-r70x
They weigh only 210g... don't put pressure on the head band, are extremely comfortable in fit and weight.
But still get hot and uncomfortable on the ears during long use... i.e. my next set of meetings last 5 hours, and by the end I'll be wanting these off.
It may be a case of IEMs and just swapping around to provide variety and relief from one thing.

Use AirPods or similar when on calls.
I find these to be the worst.
My calls are a mix of Zoom, Meet, and Signal calls... I do everything via the computer, and all wired. Typically 30 minutes... somewhere in the range of 12-14 meetings per day.
What I loathe is how the bluetooth ones compress audio (so I never use the microphones on them) and have a tendency to disconnect resulting in messy meetings as participants reconnect.
Whilst I'd consider wireless, I suspect that if I go that route I'll opt for stage wireless systems using radio rather than bluetooth. But I'd want to find the right headphone / earphone / IEM before considering whether I want to go wireless on it.

I hope I am wrong too.
But Trump's hope for individual wealth, a pardon for himself, and various other things... would all improve if he could create a family dynasty and re-cast himself as the patriarch and source of power and wealth for it.
Of course I think that's deranged. But that's also why I think it's possible.

I'm looking for perhaps the impossible.
Headphones / ear phones / IEMs that can be worn for 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week.
I don't need noise isolation or cancellation, I'm looking for comfort as I wear glasses and don't wish to wear headphones all day or at least want to be more comfortable still.
I use ATH-R70x today... which are about as light and comfortable as I've ever found... but still, 10 hours a day is too much, ears get hot, and there's the ever present squeeze on the glasses.
Any suggestions?
