I have a pair of Grado SR80's at home and love them. I also listen to music at work while I program. Nothing spectacular, just a pair of Sennheiser HD-201. Sealed is very important as I don't want to bother co-workers with my music (kind of loud).
The problem it the Senn's give me a bad case of "headphone-hair". What I would like is a good (or decent) pair of cans that are sealed and are behind the head or in some way don't mess up my hair at work.

Any ideas are really appreciated.

as far as i know there are no headphones that provide a good seal and have a neck band. there are a few cheapies that have a closed design, but my experience is that they don't provide much isolation.

if you really need lots of isolation without getting headphone hair, you'll have to go the In Ear Monitor (IEM) route, like the new Sennheiser CX300's, Sony EX-71's, Shure's, Etymotics or Ultimate-Ears.

I guess I could always shave my head.

Could be an exciting change!

Is there some reason you don't want IEMs? They seem like the ideal solution for you. Otherwise, the Koss KSC75 are clip-on and have good sound for the price.

I guess I just don't like the feeling of IEM's. Plus I will be wearing them a large portion of the day, and I think they will become more uncomfortable the longer I wear them.

I should probably drop the isolation requirement (I shouldn't be listening to music that loud anyway) and get a pair of Koss KSC 55 or something similar.

Those look really good. They must be fairly new, I can't find any good reviews on them, other that this one at Pocket-Lint http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/review.php?reviewId=1370
