The AKG K240 Studio is the most comfortable headphone I have ever worn. They're super light, the earpads are huge and soft, and they literally disappear on my head after about 15 minutes of listening at the computer.
 
They do get a little warm over time, but not too much.

Reading peoples list really show you how subjective headphone comfort is. I guess head shape, ear size and shape, sensitivity to clamp and weight do a lot to explain the disparities.
 
I had to think about this for a second but here is my top 5 list.
1. Well used HD555
2. MA900
3. Stretched out HD598
4. Well used HD600
5. QC15
 
Headphones like HD800, HD700, all kinds of Beyers, PX100, D5000/D7000, Mad Dog, 1R, K550 and I'm sure I'm missing a few here are honourable mentions.
Audeze should employ the ergonomics guy behind Sennheiser and cut the weight of the headphones in half and I would be a lot happier buying their next headphone.

Of the ones I've tried...
 
Sennheiser HD800
Fostex TH600
Audio Technica ATH-8
Sony MDR-CD1700
Sony MDR-605
Yamaha YH-1
 
No particular order.

I would have to say that the HD 800 is the most comfortable headphone I've ever owned or tried.

Any of the old Audio Technica dynamics (ATH-3, ATH-4, ATH-5/Signet TK22, and ATH-6D) are all the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. Featherlight, zero clamp force, softest pads ever, very breathable and open. All-day wearing from a supra-aural, and I really mean that. These are in fact more comfortable than the HD800, in my opinion. 
 
Other than that, HD800, most AKGs, any modern high end Audio-Technica, etc are all super comfortable.
