Ihave a K-240 and a Byerdynamic DT-770.
What I really want is a open air with light pressure, enclosed design
(so it stays put, not the set over your ears type) 600 ohm or so so it
works with my keyboard as well.
My biggest issue is my ears getting hot & sweaty over time

Very light weight. Very comfortable, I think. And NOT too snug.
I wear them all day - especially when doing stuff around the house.
They have a vinyl leatherette ear pad. I cannot say whether or not
YOUR ears would get hot or not... mine do on nearly ALL headphones and
that is why I like open air phones, but my wife says her ears never get
warm. Do YOUR ears get warm in most headphones you use?
The RS-170 phones are lighter than most closed ear phones. They are
NOT hotter than other closed cup phones of similar design. If you have
ever used AKG K-240 headphones, they are about the same weight,
clamping
pressure, and "warmth" as that model. If other phones do not heat
you up, these will not.
What phones are you used to wearing ? I might be able to make a direct
comparison if I am familiar with the model.
NOTE - the RS-170 have a really good long range transmitter. It also
has a switchable surround sound and an extra bass boost. If these
features do not mean much to you, then you would be equally pleased
with
the RS-160 which sound exactly the same ... in fact my wife has the
RS-160 and I have the RS-170. I cannot tell them apart listening to
them. Equally comfortable. The RS-160 transmitter is not quite as
strong as the one that comes with the RS-170 -- but it works anywhere
in
my house - two floors, 2400 square feet per floor, and they reach
outside the house quite a ways also. I think the RS-160 wireless
phones are an equally good value, at a substantially lower price.
