Hi everyone, I need to find some new headphones for work. No IEMs or full-size cans please.
I listen to a broad range of music: metal, rock, hip-hop, electronica. Stuff like In Flames, Blue October, The Prodigy, Aesop Rock, Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, Journey.. yadda yadda. That kind of music.
- Open or closed, doesn't matter
- Portable- but they don't have to fold into a small size
- Lightweight
- Comfortable- I don't want these to crush my ears like the Sony V-150s
- Less than $120
Here are some I was looking into..
Portapros
Jays C-Jays
Jays V-Jays
ATH-ES7
AKG K81DJ
Sennheiser PX200-II
Sennheiser HD238
I have some M50s that I really like, but they're too large to wear at work, and I think they might isolate a little too much. It hasn't been a problem yet, they're just too big for work, but fine for home.
Any recommendations? I'm ready to hit check out now

Edit- if earbuds will provide better sound for the same price, I'll consider those. IEMs are too difficult to remove and put in when people come up to talk to me and they have too much isolation.
