I've had Sennheiser HD400 for many years (long since out of production 
but there is a newer model). These are very light. I've also the Heil 
Proset noise cancellers. The Proset and any other can-style headphone 
I've ever used just kill my ears after a while, like in a contest. The 
HD400's are better but still, eventually after 4 hours or so I have to 
take them off.

I bought a set of Sennheiser CX300-II earbuds on ebay new for $35, some 
special. I think they're regularly $50. These have excellent sound 
quality as one expects from Sennheiser. They're noise blocking, nearly 
as good as the Heil noise cancellers. And they completely solve the long 
term ear pain issue. I can wear them all day (or night) without any 
discomfort.

I set the K3 AF Gain to Low and the AF LIM to 20.

Highly recommended!
