I have a fairly large head. My ears stick out. And I have a scar on the top of my head which is very sensitive to pressure. I'm looking for headphones to listen at work all day (8-10+ hours), so they must be very comfortable. I bought the Sony V6, thinking they were the same as a pair I had several years ago which were comfortable. I find the V6 squish my ears, clamp the side of my head too much, and put a lot of pressure on the top of my head; I'll be returning them. Turns out I actually had the V600 back in the day, which seem pretty universally panned around here. So I'm back to square one. Here are my preferences:
-Cost: ~$100. I'm willing to go higher if there's a compelling reason, but I'm listening to MP3's, not reference material.
-No amp required, standard 1/8 jack, and driven by an ipod, iphone, or laptop.
-My listening levels are fairly low -- no need for huge volume.
-Probably a closed back. I like isolation, and I'm in an office environment.
-I like a pretty flat response.
-Music genres are varied. Mostly indie/alt rock and electronic.
Priorities:
1. Comfort
2. Sound quality
Looks and portability are not concerns. Also, I'd like a relatively shorter cord, or one that coils, since 10' of cord will just be in the way. This is waaay less important than anything else though, just a nice to have.
Thanks for your help!
