Bah,
featherweights all. We must have a contest to see who wears the heaviest LP the longest. My max so far with the LCD-XC has been 3 hours.

they implement anti-grav technology to make it seem lighter

Audio-technica lead with the anti-gravity technology, some of their headphones having wings.

I can vouch for the fact that they work. Had had to tie myself to the chair a couple of times.

Sony,11g. Feels like air. However the sound is nothing to write home about. Bought them to use with an electrical violin, but in practice I always use the Porta Pro for that.

Stax 4070



625g (w/ cable) x 12 hours. My head doubles as a very sturdy headphone stand - that's its best feature, actually.

If I'm in the midst of a videogame binge I'll keep playing even if my hair's on fire. Those 12 hours fly right by.

Factory-made. Stax started the 4070s as a line of closed Lambdas after a request from some company for closed monitor headphones. They sold them for a few years, but there was never a high demand for the model. They discontinued the 4070s after the x07s came out.

But then, when you stand up, you find that your body has permanently assumed the "seated hunch" position, and all attempts to modify posture are met with pure pain.

Able to push the listening session to about 4 hours before kids and a sore behind make me give up. This with the HD 800.
