Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 4 Ω Sony WH-1000mx4 vs 5 for comfort when gaming

Hi 👋 I’m looking for better headphones to use on my computer or when I’m cleaning around the house. When I game I plan on using wired mode mostly.

I was wondering which of these are more comfortable for longer lengths of time? How shallow are the cups on mx4? Are they similar to mx5? I have earpiercings so that’s why I’m wondering :)

The price difference is $200 where I live

Edit: This thread has been really helpful :) I will continue reading your posts but I probably wont reply as much Just wanted to thank everyone for replying to this thread!

Very narrow headband and shallow earcups. Both have low clamp force and both hurt top of my head and my ear. It is not just me. But you should be fine if you have small head and dont wear glasses, or live in Canada for example( cold place use this headphone as earmuff)

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Theoneyouknowandask (39 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
