The clamping force loosens over time. If a new pair feels a bit tight, don't immediately return them. I stretch mine gently over a few stacked books or a box that's slightly wider than my head when I'm not using them. After a few days, the clamp becomes much more comfortable. Just be gentle—you don't want to stress the headband to the point of breaking. This little break-in period made my HD 600s go from 'okay' to 'unbelievably comfortable.'

Look into bone conduction if you have ear pain or infections from traditional headphones. Since they don't go in or over your ears, they eliminate pressure and moisture buildup. The audio quality isn't as rich, and there's no noise isolation, but for people who can't wear normal headphones for health reasons, they're a lifesaver. My friend with chronic ear issues uses Aftershokz (now Shokz) and can finally enjoy audiobooks again without discomfort.

I prefer in-ear monitors for lying down. Over-ear headphones are impossible to sleep in if you like to listen in bed. I use a pair of budget-friendly Moondrop Chu IEMs just for bedtime listening. They're small, lie flat against my ear, and I can turn on my side without discomfort. The sound isolation helps block out any ambient noise, and if I fall asleep, they're durable enough to survive being rolled on. Just make sure you get ones with a non-microphonic cable that doesn't transmit noise from rubbing on pillows.

For a budget-friendly pick that punches above its weight, it's hard to beat the Creative Aurvana Live! SE. They're based on a classic Foster Bio-dyna driver design, known for a warm, engaging sound that's really kind to vocals. I bought them as a spare pair and ended up using them more than my expensive ones. The comfort is great for the price, and they don't need a fancy amplifier—your phone or tablet drives them just fine. A solid no-fuss entry point into good audio for stories.

Think about your listening environment. In a silent library, open-back headphones provide the most natural sound. In a noisy coffee shop, you'll want active noise cancellation or deep-sealing in-ear monitors. I have two pairs for this reason: open-back for serene weekend listening at home, and a compact pair of noise-cancelling earbuds for on the go. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen) are surprisingly competent for audiobooks—their transparency mode is also great for when you need to be aware of announcements.

It's okay to DNF (Did Not Finish) an audiobook. Life's too short. If you're three or four hours in and you're still fighting to pay attention, if the narrator's voice grates on you, or the story just isn't capturing you, let it go. Forcing yourself through a non-immersive audiobook for the sake of completion is a sure way to kill your enjoyment of the format. Return it, exchange it, or delete it. There are millions of stories and hundreds of brilliant narrators. The right one is out there, waiting to pull you into its world. Don't get stuck in the wrong one.
So many great suggestions already. Adding a +1 for 'The Willows' by Algernon Blackwood if you can find a good narration. It’s the quintessential weird nature horror story. The fear of the vast, indifferent, and possibly sentient natural world is perfectly suited to audio. A good narrator can make the rustling of the willow leaves and the strange sounds on the river sound profoundly alien and threatening. The horror is atmospheric and cosmic, a feeling of being a tiny, unwelcome speck in a vast, conscious landscape. Headphones make that feeling of immense, watching solitude completely envelop you. It’s a different kind of scare than ghosts or monsters, but it sticks with you.
You know what's an underrated form of immersion? When the narrator gets the mouth sounds right. Not the gross, wet mouth noises you sometimes get, but the subtle changes in voice when a character is eating, drinking, out of breath, or crying. A narrator who can believably voice a character while they're sobbing or gasping for air adds a layer of visceral realism that no added sound effect can match. It's acting at its finest.
