I know the AKG 701/702 and the Sennheiser HD 800, HD 650, HD 600, HD 598 are suppose to be very comfortable, but is there a stand out? I would suggest the AKG 701 as a stand out, but they are the only expensive headphones I've used. What is/are the most comfortable pair of headphones you have ever worn?

Heya,
 
The D2000/5000/7000 are crazy comfortable.
Beyers DT/T lines are also crazy comfortable.
 
Very best,

DT880 by far

 

[Youngblood]

Sennheiser 555 because that's all i got

Denon.

 

[Rawrbington]

Beyer 770/880/990

 

[TMRaven]

Most has been AD700, followed by Denon D2000.  Beyers follow.

Grado GS1000.

I haven't worn very many headphones, but the Stax Lambda is the most comfortable I've had yet, even outdoing Audio-Technica.
 
Pads could be a bit better, but taping bits of microfiber cloth over the contact areas helps a lot. Maybe getting some genuine leather pads of the sort found on the SR-404 Limited and SR-507 would also help. (If only Stax had velour pads...)

i find my hifimans more comfortable than both denons i've owned, but i do have a larger than average head, so maybe it's that? also have a strong neck so i don't really notice the weight. Headband in particular is nice, denons would hurt the top of my head after a couple hours.

Sony XB-Series, I do hope them to come out with some more serious headphones in that design
btw k701 was very uncomfortable to me..

 

[tk3]

STAX SR007.
 
The leather earpads and the weight distribution is just unrivaled.

 

[rawrster]

The k601 is the most comfortable I've tried. The DT880 is a close second.
