Mid-range comfortable headphones for daily listening

Thread Starter 

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones for daily listening at work. I currently have a pair of Sony mdr v150's and they hurt the backs of my ears after 30 minutes. It might just be my ears because earbuds do the same thing. I don't do audio editing or need super high quality headphones; the quality of my music probably won't even bring a quality pair of headphones to its full potential anyway.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for super comfortable and affordable headphones?

sennheiser hd 448s are some of the lightest and comfiest headphones i've worn.

 

sounds pretty decent too.

 

only problem really is the weak bass.

Beyerdynamic DT770. Super comfy and reasonably priced now that the T70 is out.

If you plan on using them in a quiet enviroment, the Sennheiser HD 558 falls within your budget. (120 :))
