    helmet hurts after an hour

    I tried the RF and found that pressed on my head too much... I have the Qwest which for the first 45 minutes (including the 30 min I had it on in store) was much more comfy on my round head LOL. Maybe its what Prince was sayin with heat expanding my head? It was really painful coming home today...
