Well, of course. But that's not what he asked. I use those cheapo $3
headphones that I barely feel on my head. Yes, comfort is everything and
that's one more reason why hi-fi headphones are out, because they simply
have to squeeze your head for a high quality audio. I also tried Heil
headphones once and couldn't believe some people have them on for 48
hours straight. I'd go insane.

On average I've found hi-fi phones more comfortable than the
communications variety.

Used to wear Radio Shack PRO-40s until I got my hands on the Labtecs.
(latter having the advantage of the boom mike, so one can free both
hands for manipulating the equipment)
