Most comfortable / durable / semi-portable full-size over-ear closed semi-isolating headphones <...

Not for me but for someone else as a gift. They don't care about sound quality due to hearing loss.

 

Semi portable and semi isolating is desired -  but full super duper isolation is not required, but hopefully something better than open back headphones. Durability would be nice so they last, but under $100 I don't expect too much.

 

Over ear is desired, and preferably good comfort. Something like the Denon D2000s would be a great super comfortable headphone for example except they're far too expensive and excessively high end for this purpose.

 

Something that comes to mind here are the lower end Sennheisers (bad sound but in this case it doesn't matter), but I was wondering if anyone here has other suggestions.

Very good isolation, very solid, not too expensive and good sound = HD280pro/HD380pro.

Those are much too small for my head, until I determine if this is true for the person who's getting them, what other options?

 

Which are more comfortable, HD201s or HD205s?
