Well, this is a very subjective question, but to me,
and from what I've read on this site, the ....os are close to the top.

i wonder how the jecklin floats feel . . . but I'd have to say (from my limited experience) grados with bowls. Bearable, but not fuzzy wuzzy comfy.

Grados for me no doubt. I couldn't keep them on for more than 10 minutes without feeling some kind of discomfort.

Grado. Physical pain with bowls. Sounds good enough that I listen occasionally anyway.

Shure e2c... cant leave them in for more than 40 minutes. They tickle the little hairs in my ears and its very annoying. Especially while walking around. I never had this problem ~6 months ago, just more recently.

I'd say the Grado 325i with flats. With used & plush bowls they were ok, but the hard flats combined with the weight of the cups was almost unbearable.

i like the sound of my ksc-55's but it's like a damn vice grip on your temples.. like accupressure gone horribly wrong

 

[AdamCalifornia]

Yes, I liked SR125's sound, but could not wear them for more than 10 mins.
Then resting my golden (just kidding) ears and again, pain for another
10 mins, until I've said no more pain and returned them to the store for the
full credit. I don't have a big head or big ears.
So how come so many people can stand them???

See you on the Cozy-Comfortable

I think almost all behind-the-neck (or street style) headphones are really uncomfortable, because the weight of the cans are always digging into the top of the base of your ear. Plus, you can't really lean back on anything while you have them on.

They weren't bad at all actually...

My vote goes to Grado's though. Now I know what wood feels like when it gets hit with some sandpaper.

How about the Stax in-ear phones. I've heard they're pretty painful.

I'll tell you right now they're not designed for people with wide heads, take it from me.

I think I'll vote the jecklin float as the most uncomfortable, either that or grado's with brand new bowl pads.

 

[fureshi]

other than the rs1, most grados are pretty uncomfortable to me especially when the bowls are new.

 

[MatsudaMan]

Oh, Grado's are just sooo uncomfortable. I just can't bear the pain. I wish they made headphones out of marshmellos. Then I'd be happy. Doesn't matter if they sound good.

From what I've tried, Grado's and older senn's with flat pads and ear-squashing headbands. Plus any earbud (not iem)
