Klipsch Mode M40 Noise Canceling - Tightness???

[Kate M]

Hi there,

I've got a question regarding the tightness of the Mode M40 Noise Canceling headphones. I've read everywhere that they are quite tight if you have a rather large head or so. On the other hand, I've seen other comments like that they loosen after you've worn them for about a week, others said that they will never get less tight. But there were also reviews from January 2012 which stated that Klipsch is working on a solution in order to reduce the tightness by 20%.

Now for my question: are they really that tight? Or better: have they already resolved that problem and are the newer headphones now less tight?

Thanks so much for your answers! Very much appreciated! )

I own a pair of Klipsch M40 and did feel they were tight originally right out of the box the first time I used. Fairly quickly thightness issue resolved itself on its own, approxmentaly in about an hour into my first four hour flight. That was last April 2012.

Today, I think maybe stiff would be a better word to describe what I was feeling, rather than tightness. No longer an issue for me, I love the noise canceling, works great while onboard a jet or in the house with half dozen rambucious youngsters.

Hope my comments help, all the best, Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for your answer! This is what I was also thinking - in the beginning it'll feel tight or as you say, stiff, but I'm confident that it's going to be better in time. I mean, the more you wear them, the more you get used to them, right?!

Have a great day & all the best for you too!

Kate

Tip:

BEfore you wear them put them over back of chair to pre stretch them... works for while but they seem to have memory foam built in them as they go back and the tightness builds over time.
