[SoundSearching]

I'm looking to buy some over-ear headphones. My budget is 360$, but I'd rather pay less than more. I listen to effectively every genre, so I'd like it to have high quality sound all around.
 
It will be used MOSTLY for my iPod/laptop. I need them to have low/no sound leakage so I can use them in a quiet library. Be very comfortable even after hours of wearing them, don't want my ears to feel hot and sweaty or my head to feel like its in a bear trap.
 
Thoughts, suggests, recommendations?

This would be tough because usually over-ear headphones that isolate well would also get hot more easily. That being said, I can't think of a headphone that stands out as particularly good at isolation. Maybe someone else can help with this. But the best isolation would come from IEMs, and those wouldn't get your ears hot either.

Beyerdynamic DT770 comes to mind, though the mids are recessed (moreso on the Pro-80s than on the Pro-250s).  The pads are really comfortable and the clamping force isn't too bad (IMO).
 
They would benefit from a small amp, though (them plus a FiiO E07k or E17 should still fit comfortably into your budget, though).
 
Blueangel is right, though, that over-ear closed cans are not going to be the best in terms of keeping your ears from feeling hot.  Open cans are much better, but they would be no good to you in an environment like a library.

The Beyer velour pads will be less hot than pleather. Can't remember anything about their isolation.

Thoughts on the Sennheiser Momentum?

And supposing I disregard noise leakage, what would you recommend?

They seem ok, but I've never heard them.  Pricier than the DT would be, but also don't need an amp which would make the overall cost lower.  See the review here:

Some of the best portable headphones in that price range, in order of most neutral to most bass: KEF M500, Sennheiser Momentum, PSB M2U/M4U, Denon D600, M-100
