Finally got to listen to a set at an Apple store today... I LOVED how comfortable they were, simply superb.. But wow, not impressed with the sound. Sounds muddy, really not impressive IMO...

Just curious, anything else out there as comfortable as those suckers, yet, sounds good?

With headphones, there's always that clamping force, or some form of reminder of its existence.

But with the ATH-EW9, you won't even feel it after 20 minutes. It sounds better too.

Denon AH-D2000 and Sony MDR-F1.

I never used any Bose stuff so I can't compare but these two sound awesome and I can wear them for hours.

They're not high-end, and they don't isolate ... but the Sennheiser PX100s are light-weight, they don't clamp, they're quite portable, and they have what many Head-Fiers consider a pleasing sound signature.

Have to admit that the Bose QC1s were the most comfortable cans I've ever owned

I asked this question not to long ago (I'm still trying to replace my triports) and most ppl recomended the d1000 in the same price range, but I've heard the d2000are one of the most comfortable on the market

The Denon D1000 are really also really comfortable and they are cheaper than the triports. They sound wonderful too.

anything shure se range,those new foams make for a great comfortable experience,im listening to my se530 right now and i cannot feel the foam in my ears,thats what you gotta aim 4,i was blown away by the triports ie...honestly...they are dire! they cant even be classed as iem's because they dont enter the ear they rest on outer ear,and the sound,even tho it wasnt in the ear was sooooo boomy

 

[jinx20001]

oh...excuse me you didnt say the triport ie's did you,sorry,anyway for the record the triport ie's are just as bad and worse

I recommend Koss KSC75s - better sound than the Bose, very portable and comfortable, and $20!
