Recommend a good pair of portable full size headphones?

I'm looking for some full size headphones that would be good for portable use. Aka no amps, DAC's or anything. Just playing off an iPod. I would like a good balance of sound quality, good bass, good looks, minimal leakage, and good comfort. I would like them to be under $250 retail, if that's possible.

 

I was looking at:

Ultrasone's

B&W P5 (Not out of my range on Amazon used ( I know that these aren't full size, but they look amazing))

 

But I don't know about their leakage/comfort.

I have had Crossfade LP2's, but returned them because of leakage. And I have had ATH-Pro700MK2's, but returned them because they hurt my head a lot to wear for more than 30 seconds.

AudioTechnica A900X

Fischer Audio FA-003 (or Brainwavz HM5)

 

Very best,
