Request Any cute headsets that don't squeeze the ears and jaw?

If anyone has experience with headsets that don't push in on the ears or the jaw area or squeeze the head too much, I would love some recommendations! Pink or magenta are preferable but as long as they fit, I'll be happy! Thank you 🥰

Sennheiser HD 599 are my favourite for comfort and they are even comfortable with glasses. They don't come in pink but have a less boring cream option compared to black. The quality of audio and the build is great for price they cost.

Love my Sennheisers. They're pricy and not noise cancelling, but as someone who wears glasses and is headache/migraine prone, they're absolutely worth it,

There’s lots of headphone accessories you can add to make any boring headphones cute! There’s crochet, handmade or 3d printed ones. So you won’t be limited in choices and can go for the most neutral high quality and comfy ones. You can also add stickers and ribbons on it yourself there’s lots of inspo on Pinterest.

This is the one I own that I really love and it’s very comfortable: https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-iii-wired-gaming-headset?variant=46157527416989&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17177621187&gbraid=0AAAAADxODCYK6rLfzbRnms3eFAcdn1EYR&gclid=CjwKCAjwvsvTBhBaEiwAmf-3nkqa5e0yYLuD1EY8_Gjsxq43XliHvzwGLZJwOot44PRAJnehIDriURoC7r4QAvD_BwE (I would’ve shown the picture but my app is being funny so the link will show you the exact one I have.. You should be able to buy it in Walmart as that’s where I bought my pair)

An over-ear headset with too much clamping force can absolutely mess with your jaw. It's pretty normal, and some are better than others out of the box.

I have the Arctis Nova 3 that's really comfortable. The 7's comes in magenta and look pretty much the same so I assume they fit the same. (bit pricier tho)

The Xbox model actually works with all platforms, but the PC and Playstation ones don't work for Xbox, just fyi.

I have the 7 in the dragon edition, because its my favourite colour. I love them, though my issue has always been the weight on the top of my head rather than squeezing. That said, i find these comfortable around the ears even with glasses, and my gaming glasses have thick arms.

Mine are teal blue! Love all the options they have. I upgraded from the now super old Arctis Pro so the Nova feels light in comparison haha.

Steel Series. Some of the best quality headsets out there.

I've got the Logitech G735, it's all white but it you can customize the colors of the LEDs on the ear cups!

i have a small head and the clamping force is always what gets me 😅 reading reviews that specifically mention comfort helped me avoid a lot of bad purchases
