I really appreciate everyone sharing their opinions!

yes, the d2k's do provide decent isolation, for the first time in quite a while i had to endure the clack-clack of my keyboard as i busted out some work, while enjoying some trance on my new grado's....i missed the isolation, lol


one thing to note on the d2k's, while they're "easy" to drive, the upgrade to an amp will improve quality quite a bit, i dont remember if you listed having an amp or not, i'd entirely consider the purchase if you dont though

DT880 are undoubtedly the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. Though the D2000 and D5000 are very comfortable, too, except for the feel of warm, shifting pleather.

My vote would be for a well-broken-in pair of SR60s. I'm reluctant to succumb to upgradeitis given how much I like both their sound and their comfort.

 

[obobskivich]

I love my NEW SR-60's with NEW pads for comfort, my only issue is the lack of isolation, and the OP was talking about something similar a page or so back (its in an office apparently, so it needs some isolation), which is why the Senns and Grados wont work

Beyers might

 

[themanbeast]

my dt-880 are extremely comfortable. Originally when I got them, I thought my AD700 were more comfortable, but that has quickly changed in the last week or so that i've had the 880s in use.

no senn HD280 votes?

 

[slick1ru2]

PX-100 are like not wearing anything at all and probably sound as good as cans twice the price. My ATH-700's get warm after extended periods, but not too warm. My SR80's are the least comfortable with the foam being a little coarse but still not bad for long sessions.

Another vote for D5000

I just bought a Little Dot Micro+ portable amp to take to work. I've read that it's simply s so/so amp...I've gotta say, I'm blown away by what a difference it makes. My DT990's never sounded so good!! I can't wait get a better amp for home use to see what a "good one" can do.

They certainly good comfort wise, but the 880s and D2000s are a lot more comfy, they have basically feel like they have no clamping force when compared to the HD6x0 cans.

I got one too, and you are right, lots of power, little price. And the battery lasts FOREVER before needing a charge.

 

[Moocher]

Audio Technica AD900s are the most comfortable of the headphones I have tried.

Mooch

If they have less clamping force then they will have a sloppy fit for people with smaller heads. If they are tight then pull them apart people time after time until the clapping force is comfortable for your head people!

I also hereby nominate the 650s as the most comfortable headphones.

For me comfort is as important as sound quality because I will not keep a superb sounding phone if it's uncomfortable. That being said I think the Yuin PK1, DT880, Sony MDR-F1, AT AD700, Grado SR325i with bagel pads and the K501 with K701 pads are very comfortable phones. The Ety 4P with bluebells (?) is very comfortable too and I never thought I'd be able to say that. On the other hand the Stax Lambda Pro makes my ears sweat and the HD600 never lets me forget my head's in the Sennheiser clamp.

 

[Aura]

Sony R10. The comfort supplements the phenomenal sound.

I like a little bit of clamp in my headphones, so Sennheiser feels quite nice for me.

Yeah, me too. That's the reason I find my pl750's more comfortable than my ad900's. Maybe we are just weird.
