My inner ear tissue and IEMs have finally parted ways and I need a full sized around ear, not on, closed option to directly from a Zune 80 playing mostly lossless alternative to rock to punk.
 
Would like to keep it to around $200 street price.  Options?

At 200, Sennheiser 25-I-II will be immediately recommended, lucky u .

Senn. HD 25

The HD25s are your best bet, but they are more on-ear than around ear.   The clamping force goes away after a few days however, and they become quite comfortable.  You'd be hard-pressed to find a more versatile portable phone.  These things were built for the road in every sense of the word.

Anything else?  I'm pretty sensitive to things on my ear.  Or put another way my O2 got repadded to the tune of $120 because I could feel the bar under the cloth some days just barely

My patience lately is at an all time low.  Just pulled the trigger on some AT M50.  If they suck, bah didn't sting too bad =)

They most definitely do not suck and you did the right thing.
