But would you say that the upgrade in sound is worth 100 euro? Actually I think that the comfort will stay the same for me or it'll be even worse since they'd be new...

I originally had gripes about the weight digging into my skull. I have a decent sized head and had oodles of hair at the time. I put a thin, cushy layer (actually a series of stick-on circles used for furniture to prevent scratching of wooden floors--yes, quite the ghetto mod) into the headband and all my comfort issues are solved. I felt it was probably due to the lack of clamping force on the sides of the head, which I now love and appreciate with my extra padding.

Some have said the ear pads get hot... I find removing the phones for a mere 5 seconds releases any stored up heat and cools them almost instantly. I've found them wayyy more comfortable than anything else, including the HD595 and HD580, and far less heat prone than the 580. Also, I hate Y wires. Big thumbs up for my one-wire heaven.

Yes, they are pretty confy!.

Yeah, I remember wearing my DT880. It felt like two soft, fluffy pillows gently pressing against the sides of my head. No headband issues at all. Probably THE most comfortable cans I've ever used along with the DT531.

DT880 comfort is great for me. No scalp burn and the cups have such a nice feel. I also find the pressure quite good.

Well... I can say that they are more comfortable than my Grados were.

But, yeah, they are awesome.... I wish I could say that I forget that they are there, but I find myself tucking the top my ears underneath the pads a little, so I feel them. Oh, and the music... that kind of reminds me that they are there.

Like fluffy pillows -=- lol

I've never had any discomfort with mine even after 3 or 4 hours...which at night is about as long as I can go before sleepy time

My brand new (today) dt990 are really tight around the ear pad but the pad is soft.Will try the book stretch.It is only the first day so i will give it some time

the dt880 have by far the most comfortable pads and unobtrusive headband imo, no clamping force at all, but unless you're headbanging, they will never fall off. probably the only headphone i own that i can wear for 5 hours on end.
