I also suggest like Grado SR60 ($80) and Sony MDR-V6 ($70) in that range. I think the Grado sounds really good, but it's open so it doesn't isolate well. The Sony seemed well balanced with good bass, sturdy and is comfortable and isolates better.

I reall like the AKG K240 Studios, and the SR80i's in that price range.
 
 
"over the ear" =>
 
on-ear or around ear?

This sounds like a perfect job for the Creative Aurvana Live!.
 
They are the same as Denon D1001's, which are very popular and well renowned.
They are very comfortable, and the sound can not be beat for their on-sale price.

They MDR-V6 and Grado SR60 are also good choices, but the CAL!'s are on sale for $70, and I don't think you can beat them at this price.
SR60's are not very comfy though...

idk bro i want the same price headphones tooo

if around the ear, Im impressed by the sony V6, my only complain is the cable, its too long.
if big non portable i have to say superlux HD668B
 
and im sure you can find a ATH M50 for that price in the FS forums.
 
and if open, cant get better than grado SR80i for the price
 
good to know you are moving away from the beats!
 
ps: if you want take a look at my inventory and feel free to ask

I think the Creative Aurvana Live at $70 is your best choice here.  I've been tracking the price for a friend and they dropped very recently from $100.  You'd do well to grab them now, they are supposed to be very nice cans with nice bass as well.

I have the Superlux and really sounds GREAT but aren't very confortable on stock state... need to change the pads by and original AKG velour pads.

[beatsheadphone]

But I sitll think that the monster beats by dr dre headphone are the best..

 

[JamesMcProgger]

spam is obvious

 

[stephancho]

all of the links that beatsheadphones had under his post are fake Beats including the likes of Butterfly by Vivienne Tam  and other strange products....
As if the real beats weren't bad enough

Shure SRH440 is very comfortable for me, although at first the weight was kind of weird on my head.

People have mixed views of them here, I gather, but I'm a fan of the Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs studio monitor phones.  They're very isolating and fairly big/heavy, but extremely comfortable nevertheless -- designed to be worn for long periods of time.  The controversy about them, such as it is, is that they're intended to produce a flat uncolored sound, which isn't what works best for some people.  I tend to like that approach, but YMMV.
 
They list for $150 but are routinely on sale on Amazon etc for $50-$60.
 
The Grado SR60 mentioned above are an excellent phone with very different qualities: the open design means they let in a lot of ambient sound (and let out sound as well; people sitting near you can hear that you have music going), and they have a particular sound coloration that many people like.
