I have been trying to wear a pair of Razer Electras for a while now, and no matter what I do they hurt my ears something awful. The bass is pretty good, which is why I keep trying to wear them. After 30+ minutes it feels like my left ear is being crushed, these usually leave it very tender and red. I have changed the adjustment of the band all over the place but it still ends up hurting so badly I have to take them off and give it a break. Nobody else has reported this that I could find, I actually have rather small ears and they don't protrude or anything so I don't think that is a factor. This is getting to the point where I will actually have to buy a different set.

Razer Electras HURT my ears?

Is it touching your left ear? A good pair of headphones should not touch the ear at all.
Yes I think it actually is touching it

I've had a few headphones that do something similar. The AKG Q701 after awhile hurt my head because the headband is just hard. My grados that I love have a kind of similar feel. They are soft and just touching my ear but after awhile, they do start to hurt just from the slight touch after long periods of time.
It sucks man not sure what to say, maybe softer cuffs but i think those will even hurt after awhile. Best chance is pick headphones with soft headband and ear cuffs big enough no part of your ear is getting touched.

Yeah. It hurts bc it is touching your ear. Not much solving that issue. Sometimes you can change the earpads but probably not in this case.
Try some Sennheiser hd 439, 518 or 558. Those all have cloth material earpads and should allow plenty of room for your ear. Audiotechnica AD700 or 900x also should work well.
