Hi, Gaute, welcome to binoculars!
If you find one of your binoculars uncomfortable to look through, it might be out of collimation. This rears it's ugly head as eye strain or even headaches while viewing. Your eyes may be straining to "cross" in an unnatural way to try to compensate for the misalignment of the binoculars.
Here's a link from the Best Of at the top of page 1:
Collimation thread
Those Hensoldts very likely use the "old school" eccentric ring collimation rather than the "prism tilt" designs of many newer models.
Hope this helps,
Rich V
