For comfort, it's a tie between the HD558 and AD700X.

For sound, it's a tie between the AD700X and DT990.

 

For build, it's a tie between the DT990 and HD558.

 

Not to say that any headphone is bad in any category, because they're all great.

Wowowowowo, hold it shearme ;) How can the DT990's not be on the comfort list?! I don't think i'v ever felt any discomfort.

Like I said in the last sentence, none of those headphones are bad in any category, but they're just not as good as the others. The oval shape of Sennheisers is super comfy for most people, and the wing system on the audio-technicas is glorious as well.
