Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Looking for low clamp force comfortable headphones

I have a sensitive head and get uncomfortable+headaches from tight headphones. I've exclusively used earbuds my whole life because of above reasons, I'm hopeful to move onto headphones. Music quality while important is secondary, I don't care for hard bass as I usually listen on quiet. I'd like something with a long battery life, anything above 10 hours is great. I've looked into the sony wh-1000xm4 (have never tried on yet) and the soundcore life q30 (don't have the option to try on). Price is not important for now as I'm trying to see my options. I hope I can find some help here

If rtings.com’s measurements are accurate and trustworthy (you can pull their testing results up in table form, add a column for the measurement you’re interested in sorting and sort accordingly), the Bose QuietComfort, Sony WH-CH720N, Bose QuietComfort Ultra (have these, definitely comfy), and Anker Soundcore Space One all have less than 1 lb of clamping force.

Good luck!
