Hi there, I love my DT 770 Pro's, but my wife keeps taking them! So I'd like to get her something similar, or me something similar, and she can have these. The key features I like are:

-Closed, and block out a decent amount of sound passively
-Not painfully bright or anything
-Circumaural
-Big floofy earpads
-Comfy
-1/8th inch headphone plug
-No Microphone or fancy features or anything like that
-Durable and rugged
-Relatively easy to drive with a variety of sources

I like the sound signature as well, but am willing to compromise on that somewhat.

So... other than getting her a pair (or a pair of the 32 ohm version perhaps), what is there that is similar, but hopefully under $100 shipped? I'm in Kentucky.

Get the Soundmagic HP151 closed headphones, let her keep the DT770 Pro 80-Ohm headphones.

Could you tell me a bit about those, and if there is an option that's similar-ish but even cheaper?
So you want the sound of a $150-$175 headphone, but only pay less then $100?
Maybe the Takstar HD6000.

No I didn't say I wanted the sound. I said I liked the sound, but was willing to compromise on the sound. I'm okay if it has the physical features I needed, and isn't bright or harsh.
