+1 

The bose AE1 are really confy, not the best sound though.

The Sennheiser closed HD are confy but make you sweat. The Grados SR with small open pads (sr225 etc ) suck, and the PS1000 weights a ton, while the Grado GS1000 are really confy.

DT880's are amazing. HD800s are even better.

The Beyer DT231s were maybe the most comfortable. The vintage DT990s are pretty nice as well, though I don't have the original headband anymore and the pads have lost their fillings, so who knows how comfortable they were originally.

D2K's, then again it's like the only headphone for more than $60 I ever used. Did try the HD650 once and that was nowhere near as comfy, felt like it was testing how much pressure my skull could take before imploding.

I have to chime in for the MDR-F1 as well, but I'm also surprised that the PX100 has only been mentioned once.

In terms of physical comfort, of what I've yet worn, I'd say that the Sennheisers have been consistently comfortable: The HD 800, the HD 600/650, and the HE90 are all very comfortable headphones. When I had the HD 6x0 headphones, I was amazed at how often I forgot I was wearing them. They are quite light and just became invisible on my head. Transparent headphones in more ways than one.

 

Also, when I tried the Sony R10 I found it really comfy - the leather pads were very soft and luxurious and it was quite light on the head.

 

In terms of sonic comfort, the HD 600/650 and LCD-2 top my list.

Oddball post of the thread:

That inner headband just contours to the shape of your head and they're so damn light. Granted, with the exception of the Bose, Beats Studios and Sony XB500s, I have never seen or heard any of the headphones mentioned here in person. I'll give another vote to the XB-500. Those were really fun to wear.

I've gotta go with my k550s on this one. The clamping force is light, but just hard enough to make it feel secure on my head. I've been wearing them for 5 hours straight today with no discomfort whatsoever. 

Granted, I'm relatively new to this so I haven't tried on a very large number of headphones.
