I know mine's frowned upon but for me its the Sony XM3/4. They fit perfectly on my head and dont feel to heavy, apart from the sound I think its a great headphone. Anyways what's your most comfortable headphone you have ever worn?

How do you feel about the clamp force?

I was pretty set on getting the DT900 Pro X until I looked at the Beyerdynamic website and compared the numbers they give for clamp force in the spec sheets (lower number means less clamp force).

According to them the DT1770 Pro are at 7,2N, the DT1990 Pro are at 6,6N, DT700/900 Pro X are at 5,3N, DT770/880/990 Pro at 3,5N, the DT770/880/990 Edition at 2,8N and the TYGR 300 R at 2,9N.

So I ended up getting the TYGR because I have a big head and high clamp force gives me headaches. The clamp force on the TYGR was still a bit too much for me until I stretched them out over books for two nights. Now they're very comfortable though.

I have a bit of a big head too, at first clamping force did feel tighter but it’s perfect now it’s worn in. The ear cups are nice and deep and very plush so I no longer have my big ears rub on the driver like the 990s and seinheisers do to me
