Most comfortable open-back headphone for mixing

[SoraAsari]

I can conclude that everyone is saying that Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser are very comfortable. But surfing other forums, i found that some people says they clamp too strongly that it will hurt on prolonged use. This especially on DT900pro, and Sennheiser 560s and 600s, I dunno about 650.

1. There are professional forum writers who get paid for their nice reviews.
You shouldn't fall for that. Such fake reviews are so well done that they are
not recognizable from the outside. But if well-known users here at KVR
make a recommendation, then it is credible.

2. But it would be best if you could find a shop in a big city near you where
you could try the headphones yourself.

That's exactly what I would say.

#enroe Thanks for your comprehensive comparison for the Sennheisers before

1. Wow that's new to me, thanks

2. Sorry didn't explain before, I don't have shop here that would let me test before buying. I've gone to music shops that have them in stock but they aren't willing to open the box for testing. Maybe because open box stuff mostly harder to sell here.

I can wear my AKG K701 for hours without discomfort.

I like wearing Sennheisers 58xs for long periods of time but one of my ears stick out so it gets uncomfortable after a bit. At first the clamp force was a bit much but eventually got better. I know some people would suggest bending the metal of the headphone to relieve the clamping force but I can't find myself to bend something so expensive like that so I just bared with it until it broke in. That's just my input and I hope it helps.
