I know there have been threads on comfort in the past, but I am looking for some information that is a little more specific. Money is not a factor and I'm looking for comfort only. In this thread I am not concerned with sound quality. This is for a college ergonomics project, so any help is appreciated.
Which headphone that you have tried is THE most comfortable for you to wear? What would your perfect headphone be comprised of (based on comfort alone)? I am also interested in WHY that specific headphone is comfortable for you.
Weight? (heavy vs. light / strain on neck etc)
Cup pad material? (leather vs. velour vs. pleather, is material that breathes better? etc)
Clamping force? (are headphones too tight, too loose, etc)
Cup attachment setup? (AKG vs. Sennheiser etc..)
Degrees of freedom of the cups? (Is more or less better? How much?)
...and anything else that you'd like to add that I have forgotten...
The main thing is...what makes the most comfortable headphone comfortable? Specifics are key
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick
