Beyer DT880/2003 were easily the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.

I love the AKG 701 style, but I wish they had it in black.

Does anyone know a good reputable online store with a wide variety of selections I can buy from? (And also the cheapest prices for them, of course)

Get a custom paint job! lol, and then if u dont like the bumps on the K701, u can always ask AKG to send u a K601 headband or something similar (if replaceable)

What are bumps?

 

[dazzer1975]

bumps are the underside bumps on the k701 headband.

I think they are comfy, but some members think they are not.

I love the comfort of the DT880 and K701, but was surprised by the nice, cool fit of the W5000, which feels nice even over long periods of time.

 

[mmmpurple]

Are there any AKGs that have the exact same comfort or more comfortable than the 701s?

 

[Tiemen]

My K400 is very comfortable.
It's an older model, but good available on ebay.

The DT880 and K-501 are comfy for a long listen.

But anyway, I am looking for headphones only...which are the most comfortable ones? Sometimes I wear headphones for 16 hours straight. No price range unless it's ridiculous like $10,000.

hi,
I think the stlye WL-2002 on the website onVon may be fit for you. The main feature is as follows:
Infrared wireless stereo headphone
Two channel
Ergonomic design for comfortable wearing
Auto mute and auto power off function on headphone

You could get further information from the website.
Good luck to you find your favorite stuff!

AKG 601 is almost the same without the little bumps on the underside.

*I have not actually worn them

The 601s are unquestionably more comfortable then the 701s. The ear pads are softer and thicker, and the headband is more comfortable (due to no ridges on the bottom).

The AKG K601s are the most comfortable headphone available under $600, imo. I have worn them for 8hrs straight, and they don't wear on my head anywhere, and my ears keep cool and do not sweat.

DT880/2003, IMHO. : )
