Update: 08/12/2019 After comparing these headphones with other models, we found them to be very tight and reduced their score accordingly.

The HD 58X are comfortable headphones, but they are quite tight on the head, which can get uncomfortable fairly quickly for people with larger heads. On the upside, the padding is covered by a soft fabric that feels nice on the skin. The headband design is also quite similar to the HD 650's, and distributes the weight of the headphones well, though it feels a bit stiffer overall. Also, the cups are large enough for most ear shapes and sizes, which is good. If you want a more comfortable entry-level audiophile headphones option, check out the Audeze LCD-1. If you want open-back headphones that are quite a bit more comfortable, check out the Philips Fidelio X2HR, which perform marginally better overall.
