What are the most comfortable headphones you've ever used?

For me, the most comfy are KSC-35's...are forget they're on me after 2 or 3 songs.

What are some of the most painful headphones you've ever used?

Sennheiser MX X00 Series...

 

[D-EJ915]

CD780 > A500 > HD590 > HD580 > D66SL

F1

Sony Qualia 010 are the lightest and applies the least pressure on my skull.

AKG K1000 has the least sweat induced from heat since it's the most ventilated.

 

[mxs1030]

Most comfortable (in no order):

DT 880
HD 555/595
CD3K
R10

least comfortable:

ANY grado with bowl pads.

My K1000s feel like my head is in a vice sometimes. Guess I got a fat head...

No doubt, Sony MDR-EX70, I could wear them for 14 hours straight (when going on a plane or so) without even an itch even with glasses; they're more pleasant then my current Shure E2; pity with better gear their faults are so obvious.

There are some people who stretch the red bars out. Their K1000s are loose on my head

I think you could try the same.

Sennheiser Orpheus, AKG-K501, Sony R10

I always thought the Bose Triport's were pretty comfortable, but not as comfy as my HD580's. After some time with the Ety's in my ear though I don't even realize they are in, so they get my vote.

 

[archosman]

Do you mean basically pull them apart?

[Kirosia]

comfort: dt880

most painful: sr-325 w/ bowls. You get used to it though.

 

[1967cutlass]

i'd say the sr-60's with flats are the most comfortable i've used.

 

[Earwax]

most comfortable -> HD600
second -> CD780

the 780 is softer, but too loose so I can't move around with it, the hd600 fits like a glove


my worst was some off-brand noise cancelation torture device

 

[enzoferrari650]

Both my HD-600's and er4p's are very comfortable.
