Ok, I went and got myself an ES7. However, I find that it can be abit uncomfortable to use. My ears will feel slightly painful after awhile. Is this normal for someone using earphones for the first time?

How does ES7 compare to Denon 1001? Coz from what I read, these two are always recommended together.

I'll intend to use it for listening to music outdoors and at home on my laptop, basically everywhere I go. I listen to mostly pop, R&B and alternative.

Any recommendations for headphones under $200? Preferably one that covers my whole ear, instead of just on top of them. The only recommendation I got so far was the ES7.
