Which headphones are comfortable?

I'm looking for a replacement pair of headphones and comfort is a major concern. What model in $100 to $200 price range offers long term comfort along with good sound? Thanks.

HD600s can be had all day long $175-$200. I agree, an amp is critical to get the most out of them. Another $100-$200 will get you a nice Creek, Musical Fidelity, Headroom or JMT amp. Upgraded power supplies for amps go a long way. There are a few integrateds that have decent headphone sections- try first. Upgraded cable from Cardas is nice but stock doesn't suck. Happy listening.

I have the Senn's HD 600s with a Corda HA-1 MKII (headphone amplifier) for a total cost of about $550 new. Very comfortable and damn inexpensive compared to a speaker system of comparable quality!
