I Need Some Comfy Cans

[Gary Da Cat]

So yeah as the title suggests I need some crazy comfy headphone. I know im not being very specific...

 

~MUST HAVES~ 

1. CRAZY COMFORT

2. decent sound

3. portable

4. good sound

5. look good enough to wear in public

6. under $200 (usd) maybe up to $250

7. EDIT~ Closed back

 

Oh shoot when did that list get there, well I guess I am being specific now. So one thing I want to get out of the way before we start is I now the ATH m50x are a thing and I am considering them BUT I would like to explore my other options. So give it a shot leave some suggestions for me.

 

Thanks,

Gary

sennheiser 558, audio-technica ad500x, akg 702. Those three are all good, but are open.

These - http://www.amazon.com/Open-Air-Headphones-MDR-MA900-Japanese-Imports/dp/B007R99S14

 

From a review on them - "I think Sony is most comfortable phone you can wear, compared to DT880 you have no slight headband pressure. It is like to wear nothing. more comfort then Senn HD5XX series."

 

They're normally $300, but Amazon has them for $180. Apparently they sound out of this world too. Bunch of people over at Head-Fi rave over them

 

Edit: Ah, damn you #7! C'mon Gary Da Cat can you not go open? Anyways, Maybe look into these - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR1R-Premium-Over-Headphones/dp/B009A6CZ30

 

Seemed to get a lot of recommendations on a Head-Fi topic that's very similar to yours - http://www.head-fi.org/t/700881/most-comfortable-closed-back-headphones-for-6-8-hours-daily-use

The sennheiser urbanite xl is pretty good. There is also the standard sennheiser urbanites which are pretty good.

ohhh those look nice, but I would be a little worried about the headband not having that much padding.

DT770 32 ohm, might have to buy the nice velour pads separate tho

[xtroria]

People will kill me for saying this, but beats solo 2 will serve you well

Or vmoda xs or sennheiser urbanite

Bose Ae2 are portable,sound good,and have replaceable ear pads and cable. I've had my pair for three years and have only had to replace the ear pads with $6 ones from eBay. They also only $150.

I was looking at the vmoda lp2 or something last week and they seemed interesting but I owned a pair of beats solo 1 and they made my ears bleed(not really, but they hurt) from the pressure of the pads

I would buy these, but they don't really look like they are that portable.

Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro would be my choice: http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-Custom-One-Pro-Discontinued/dp/B008XEYT48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417397252&sr=8-1&keywords=Custom+One+Pro

The Beats Solo 2 are actually a considerable improvement over the original Beats Solo! Tyll from Inner Fidelity did a review on them and found them surprisingly good.

I still can't stand on ear headphones. I have quiet sensitive ears.

The only thing I would be worried about is that they are not foldable, and trust me the more compact the headphones are the better.

How about CHC Silverado's? http://www.amazon.com/California-Headphone-Co-Headphones-Detachable/dp/B009F4BV8C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417488825&sr=8-1&keywords=chc+silverado still $50 on amazon, they sound good, fold, are good for use with phones and such, have detachable cables (but sadly a non-standard cable) and they're pretty damn comfy, but they get hot after a bit, and they may have a little high clamp force but you can stretch them out anyway. They are over-ear, despite the looks on the picture.

I was literally just looking at these and they seem like a nice option, thx
