Are pc37x and clamping force the same? 37x hurt my head so much. Is the 38x a bit comfortable?

I had a PC363D, it lasted me 8 years before I had to get a new one.
(cable connector worn out)
The PC38x is my next goto, and it's completely unison with my old. Same comfort, sound quality etc.
They WILL feel clampy in the beginning, but quickly adjusts to your head over even a few days steady use.
After a week, you barely notice wearing them.

The clamping force is the same, and quite strong, and a bit uncomfortable. I was able to break them in a bit after three months. Compare this to my 360Ds, which are low clamping force, incredibly comfortable, but actually slide off my head sometimes.

Every sennheiser that I've owned had strong clamping force to start with, but they loosen up. Once they're broken in (a week of use or so), they are by far the most comfortable headphones.

I use a Yoga foam block to stretch my Senns to fit my head. It helps quite a bit with clamping force.

I have owned the 37x in the past and currently daily the 38x since release. Clamping force is similar from what I can recall. Sometimes, it bothers me. Most times, it doesn't. If the 37x hurts your head that much, then this is probably not the headphone for you.

Headphones made with a metal band often respond to gentle stretching. You can find online videos demonstrating the technique, but it's just a matter of pulling each side out to its maximum extension and then very, very gently bending them outward one side at a time. Go for very small changes.
I've used this method with my Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee headphones with great success. The clamping force on these headphones was much too strong for me. I adjusted them twice and they are now much more comfortable.

I haven't owned either, but I have the 58x and 6xx. Usually if you just loosen them up with your hands the clamp force eases up quite a bit

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
