Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I find the Beyerdynamic DT-880 Premiums to be super comfortable. I also just got a pair of Hifiman HE-400i's, and find them to be great too. Large, soft pads and relatively low clamping force.
Open back headphones are typically more comfortable than closed back because they allow your ears to breathe a bit (I had a pair of HD-280s at a previous job, and they sounded nice but got super hot after a while).
I also tend to prefer velour pads to leather or synthetic.
