What are some of the most comfortable headphones for those extended listening sessions?
The Sennheiser HD598 is the most comfortable headphone I've worn. While it isn't the last word in detail, the sound is engaging and the fatigue is literally nonexistant. They are light, sit comfortably on the head, provide just enough pressure to stay secure but not vice your head, and are open back giving you air flow. I also have a pair of the Sennheiser HD6XX from Massdrop and while they are better headphones, I still prefer the fatigue-less experience of the 598.
When I went shopping for the 598, I was looking specifically for a balance leaning towards comfort over performance. After wearing around 100 headphones, the 598 were in a league all their own for me. YMMV
PS - I have semi-large ears.
The Pryma headphones are extremely comfortable.
Interesting -- I thought the Pryma sounded good, but I know nothing about headphones, so I reported only that I think they are extremely comfortable.
