Just curious... Does not matter how much it cost. If you can wear it for hours and your head/ear won't hurt, put it below...

So in the future I can have a reference. 

I am also wearing glasses... so...is there any pair of headphone I should avoid? because it is too tight ?

And also what is the least comfy pair of headphone you've tried? 

Share with us here. 

 

Thanks!

I like my ATH-M50Xs very much. Not uncomfortable at all. Very adjustable too. 

 

The padding actually does something and the "leather" is nice.

I like my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's.... But everyone else looks at me and just shakes their head.

For me, I still enjoy putting on the Senn HD800 and Grado GS1000i, very light and comfortable but due to their light clamping force (the HD800 especially), I can't move my head too hard or too fast.

The entire Bose QC headphone series is EXTREMELY comfortable. 

I have my eye on QC35..... but I couldn't justify the price.... 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

Corsair Void Pro. By far my favorite. The memory foam padding is very nice!

I love mine but I feel like the sound quality could be better

My favorite restaurant is hooters

KSC75. They look so stupid but they fit so well. Probably HD650 second. Most mid-fi stuff without pleather pads is also quite comfortable (DTXX0, K7XX, HD558, X2, etc.) and is really more up to preference than any being more comfortable than the others.

 

QC35 is extremely comfortable for a while but heats up quickly.

QC35 are a dream to wear but alas, I too did not want to pay more than the cost of my cpu. 

 

Got a pair of ATH-M50Xs for 80 usd/100 cad and they are noice.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Better than what I find most comfortable. The most comfortable I have tried are the Sony MDR-Z1R.

ATH R70x is the best I've tried. I use them every day for ~5-8 hours a day for work here at Antlion HQ.

 

Check their weight: 210 g (7.4 oz),

 

Compared to the M50x: 285 g (10 oz)

 

Comapred to the AKG702: 235 g

 
A few grams goes a long way over hours. Plus their headband design really is great for keeping pressure constant and their clamping force and ear circumference is fantastic. Only downside is the 350 dollar price tag! :D

Sony mdr-ma900. Extremely light and open, I thought the minimal padding wouldn't be enough, but its perfect for me. Only drawback is they seem fragile and are only for a home setup. I can wear them for 10hours and forget I have them on. Also they are discontinued, so maybe I should pick up another pair...
