Greetings everyone!

What are the most comfortable, full sized, current production headphones that you own? In other words, which cans would you buy all over again if comfort was the only real criteria? Let's define comfort as the ability to forget that you are wearing headphones after a 72 minute jam session in your favorite easy chair.

I've owned a pair of sennheisser hd555 and currently have a pair of denon d2000. Both are great in comfort. I used to play hours upon hours of counter-strike with the hd555 and had no problem whatsoever. I no longer play games, but I have found myself spending hours upon hours with my d2000 on with no problem. I'd actually give my d2000 an edge in comfort compared to the senns. Don't get me wrong, both are great, but the d2000's super soft earpads and headband put it out infront to me.

Beyers.. especially the DT770s
The HD 650s are also prety comfy.

These people are all lying to you, though I've no idea why. Sennheiser HE60 FTW. Seriously, it's as good as it gets.
