Before I staretd working, I used to game heavily and used to wear headphones the entire time. I've actually done 30+ hour gaming sessions, but probably only wore headphones for half of the time.

Oh man that is a brutal flight. When we lived in Canada we used to fly BC to Korea to Singapore every other summer

edit: about 4 years ago at a LAN I used the SR-60 nonstop for around 4 hours. They were brand new, after that my ears were burning

Since then I think the longest session has been just over 5 hours with the K1000 with Miles Davis playing every single album I had back to back.

Which headphones we're you using Jahn on that 15 hour marathon?


Initial D = Darth Beyers. Awesome movie cans, what with the screeching tires and such. And isolation = wife not complaining about that techno track!

Beck = Darth Grados. It's Rock. C'Mon.

Edit - and both cans are as comfy as pillows. They are poofy velour, after all!

None, if it had been a little warmer then it probably would have gotten uncomfortable.

A few days ago while I was studying for finals (>_<), I used my ety's er-6i with the tri-flanges for just four hours. It was late at night so I decided to take a light nap, but I feel asleep with them on...

I had a huge headache in the morning and a fever during the school day. The fever probably wasn't related to the ety-usage thou lol.

The ety's get uncomfortable for me if I use them too long. They make marks in my ear, and cause a little soreness. Then I switch to my px100's. Can't wait until brother's v-moda vibes come through the mail

I have had this problem with many headphones but with my 595 I can easily go 6-8h I just never get tierd of the sound they produce, and they are so light an comfy that the longer i wear them the less I feel I have them on my head.
