I thought it be fun to see what you see is your favorite headphone that weighs less than 525 grams.
We know LCD-4 726 grams, RAD-0 599 grams, and Heddphone 700 grams do not make the cut.
There is no budget limit?

That’s a fairly specific target, did I miss a meeting?

All these incredibly specific threads for “favorite” gear, honestly, kind of annoys me. I’m not sure what they are meant to accomplish, and it just seems like thread clutter and unnecessary. If you’re looking for a light pair of headphones, ask in the general thread. Just my 2c.
But, on topic, koss porta pros.
All my other headphones will snap the necks of mere mortals, as it should be.

Remember your not supposed to wear your T4 as a hat though.
Welcome to the public internet, 
Maybe just fun?
It will be interesting to see what others have and see what falls on the same arena of comfort.

I think they are the most all round comfortable headphone I own and they have a very pleasing “get lost in the music” sound signature. You should get a demo if you can, and if they are on your short list. I’m curious about that weight limit though. The Verite Closed are better imho (although demand a bit more attention!) and my LTD pair are 549g so not much more. I feel the fact they are closed much more than the 100g or so in extra weight and in some ways they are more “snuggly” with thicker pads.

Super awesome info! Thanks!
To me this about focused constraint aka keeping your headphone at 1LBS or less. Sometimes it good to think about what we putting on our head. Why I am really asking.

Some day I may try the SR1a headphone which is only ~425 grams
If weight matters to you, you know now of a couple of great headphones you can try.

Meze Empyrean, 430 grams
Is this the equivalent of drawing voting district lines and setting the weight limit to include the Verite. I’m kidding.
