Looking for comfortable circumaural portable

I'm looking for something to replace my CALs...I want something super comfortable that isolates well (or at least better than the CALs).So far the Bose AEs seem to fit my criteria but I know that they aren't really highly recommended around here....I've started expanding my search to some supra-aurals and something that caught my eyes were the new ATH WS55s.They seem to be a very nice pair of cans...but the fact that they are on ear kind of irks me...any on ear headphone that I tried usually hurt my ears after a while...Does anyone have any recommendations?I mostly listen to electronic music,but I've started to expand my taste in music and started listening to hiphop, pop.My budget is around 100.

Did you check out Joker's thread already? (Here)

 

That being said, Sony MDRZX700's could be an option but they're about $120, also the XB500's which are $100, both are comfortable I hear.
There's some Denon's and such that come to my head but they're on ear's so...

Yeah I have checked out Joker's thread,I have my eyes on the MDRZX700s and I could shell out the cash for them but they don't seem to have any sort of swivel.My CALs were very comfortable on my head but whenever I wanted to take them off and place them around my neck it was pretty awkward because of the limited movement.I'm really interested in the ATH WS55s but I'm worried that I won't find them comfortable.

I just checked a few amazon reviews of the Sony MDRZX700s looking for the keyword "comfortable". No negative comment, and two shining "fantastically comfortable" with a few more "comfortable/very comfortable".

Hope this helps!
