    Most comfortable closed-back headphones under $1000?

    I've got some somewhat unusual requirements and I'm hoping folks can point me in the right direction. For like... a decade or so now, I've used my DT-770s as my primary work headphones. And while they are supremely comfortable, they sound only... fine, and the absurdly long cable is a huge PITA...

    Comfortable wireless earbuds

    Hi all, I have been looking for a comfortable pair of wireless earbuds with ANC that also offer decent music audio. I use over ear headphones at the moment (Sony WH-1000XM3) which are generally comfortable, but can be painful when wearing glasses (they press the frames into my head) and also...

    Light comfortable headphones for someone with very large ears?

    With lock down I've been having a lot more long gaming sessions but I'm running into a problem. All my headphones become uncomfortable after about two hours. It's a combination of my very large forward facing ears and the fact my favorite headphones are quite heavy. That's fine for listening to...

    Audeze LCD2-C Lacking?

    Just got my first pair of Audeze's today and for the most I find them quite superb - in the areas that they excel in. They have tremendous build quality, comfort, sound stage, and quite excellent mids without being too tinny. Great for casual listening in my opinion. They excel at orchestral...

    Best alternative headphones to HD600?

    Hello! I have a pair of HD600 that I find uncomfortable to wear. Initially, the discomfort was around my ears and top of my head.

    Sennheiser HD 630VB Alternatives?

    I purchased a pair of the HD 630VB phones awhile back. I use them on a daily basis with a Mojo. I really enjoy the sound, especially the weight of the bass. The main reason I selected the 630VB was for the heavier bass. That said, they are heavy and become uncomfortable to wear after about 30...

    Closed back with good comfort?

    I just got some Sennheiser HD598CS (closed backs) and I love them sound wise, and how much they isolate my room noise. They are however extremely uncomfortable because of the way the weight is only on the very top of your skull. After an hour or so it ends up just being painful on the one spot...
