Headphone Recommendations

[wheedwacker]

I'm looking for some headphones, and I was wondering what you suggest.

Budget: $100 or less
Stuff I would be listening to (most often to least often): Classical, Jazz, Movie Soundtracks, actual movies, a little country and oldies rock
It has to be quiet, so people within 4 feet of me couldn't hear it at a reasonable volume. Just a tiny bit of leakage is ok, but I don't want a lot.
Looks don't really matter.
They have to be comfortable enough to wear for at least 3 hours.
They shouldn't need a headphone amp.
I will be using them mostly with an iPod Touch, occasionally with a computer.
They can't be in-ear headphones.

Here are some I have been looking at:
SENNHEISER HD 280PRO
Sony MDR7506
AKG Acoustics K240
Grado SR60
Bose Around-Ear

Any comments on those, or recommendations for others?

Thank you.

I'd recommend the Denon D1000/1001. They're small, lightweight and incredibly comfortable. Decent soundstage for a closed headphone, pretty good all around. No amp required.

I have a pair of AKG K240S's and I get sweaty ears wearing them. Without an amp the bass is too overpowering and boomy. The SR60's will leak a lot and aren't very versatile. I've demoed the Bose triports and was not impressed. Poor highs and lows. Flimsy design. I'm sure there'd be more stronger words here against Bose than mine haha.

Shit? Crap? Garbage? Junk? Cheap? Waste? Sony?

Actually, Sony is a great headphone maker, unless you only buy their cheap stuff...R10/010/CD3000/SA5000/F1/PV1are all stellar Sony headphones.
