I never had a chance to try the 700s.

Not surprised, greatest headphone no one bought due to it's initial "2nd best" pricing being so close to hd800 and fact that it's very amp-sensitive much like hd800.

Expensive, but: Diana Phi. I can wear those for hours and pretty much forget I've got them on. SR009S are also very comfortable, but I'm always aware I'm wearing headphones.

I guess comfort is specific to the wearer as everyone has different head / ear shapes, sensitivities to weight, clamp pressure etc. But from my experience (and from what I've read on head-fi) the HD650s and other sennheiser full-size cans are comfortable.

The ones I own that I can wear for ages and ages without any fatigue are the Sennheiser HD700, Beyerdynamic Amiron Home, and AKG K812. Most others are comfortable up to a point and then I’m like, “get these things off me now!”

I agree. I opened this thread to say hd700 and it's not even close. These things are the yoga pants of headphones... Or so I'm told

Rotate through different types of headphones throughout day? Your mdr f1, then another headphone with a different style of “headband” like koss’ KDE250, then earbuds, then a bone conductor headphone, then Tesla brain implant?

The mdr-ma900 was pretty decent. Very thin headband and lightweight.

The Audioquest headphones are really comfortable.

 

[up late]

the stax sr-007 remains the most comfortable headphone that i've worn

Full size cans I have here right now.. Sony xm3. OK shape size, do get sweaty after 2-3 hours. The headband presses a bit on the top of my head and I have to position it just right
Beyerdynamic DT770 pro. There's a reason you see these a lot in radio studios. They're insanely comfortable. Hours on end, no problem!

 

[drgameboy]

another vote for HD700

 

[kith86]

i will to add some and i have ever wore them more than 5 hours straight and no fatigue and still comfortable :

Beyerdynamic T series (in my case T1p)
Focal Elear/Clear
Sony MDR Z series (Z7)
Senn HD800

I had the HD700 for some time and they were comfortable. The pads wore out and my wife thought they was no good and tossed them lol. Now I use HD600s very comfortable, and MDR1AM2 also comfortable. Both can be worn 4 plus hours.

Yes! Thats how the game is done. Pain on one, and switch to another to get pain in another area, and so forth. A balanced marathon of little annoyances and aches from each one Thats just part of the game.

She just assumed they was old junk, and she bought me a pair of 1more triple drivers after I made a big deal
