I personally think their headband design is ingenious and elegant.  Very minimalistic yet flawlessly adjustable and robust.

+1 , I think the headband is excellent as well, comfortable and very adjustable. A little bulky looking but since these are for use at home I don't see that that matters.

Probably should of kept it a little longer

What do you mean kept? Is it sold?

Actually think they look a bit sparse considering the size and weight of the drivers the headband is very discrete.  Very classy and understated to be honest.  I guess what I am saying is i'm not sure they could have designed it with less bulk and still provide the same comfort and smooth operation all around.  This is a timeless design that will age very well unlike the T1 design for example which has thick foam that starts looking funky with use.

When I first had these I thought they were very uncomfortable. There was a pressure point right at the center of the head band that was so bothersome it was all I could think about.
 
After a couple weeks the material softened out, and I got used to the fit. Now the weight doesn't bother me at all and I can wear them hours on end. I feel them, but I don't notice them. 
 
Now they are very comfortable. A firm but soft fit that doesn't budge easily. I dig it.

That's how I felt about the 2s when I had them a couple months ago. Audeze seems to do a great job of distributing the weight of the headphone in such a way that, as you said, it doesn't become bothersome. I love the feel of the leather and it stayed generally cool on my ears, so I can't wait to get the Xs on my head when they arrive on Tuesday.

I'm not particularly bothered by heavy headphones. I found the pressure point you mention more of a mild irritation than a major issue. I adjusted the gimbals a little and it discomfort vanished altogether. I think the weight distribution is spot on. Wear them right and they're the most comfortable headphones going.

+1 - absolutely no pressure points anywhere for me, head or against the ears.  just well balanced firm cushy comfort.

Head-Fi is full of big sissies.

I certainly wouldn't go that far.

Me mucho macho, buddy! Take it back or I'll whack you with my Hermes scarf.

In my opinion the HD800's are the most comfortable I've worn, they almost feel like they're floating on your head, sometimes you don't even notice they are there. The LCD's are definately very comfortable too, but you certainly can't forget they are on your head. That being said, I actually kind of prefer that plush feeling of the LCD's over the weightless feeling of the HD800's, but I could definately listen longer with the HD800's if that makes sense.

 

[Taowolf51]

How long are everyone's listening sessions with their LCD's? Are you upright or leaned back when listening?

 

[goldendarko]

I will usually listen up to 2 hours at a time with my LCD-2's, that's sitting upright at my computer desk though, could be longer if I had a recliner setup, which I hope to have eventually.

I've never seen so many people in a row call the Audeze headphones comfortable or "the most comfortable". Killer sound, not so much in the comfort department for me..
