I also like the Sennheiser 280. Very comfortable, great at blocking out conversations (which electronic noise reduction doesn't), amazing sound compared to the junk I used to wear. A lot of brittle plastic in the headband, but even so mine are only now starting to crack after quite a few years' heavy use (and one of my coworkers has duct-taped the hell out of his).

I love using the HD280s at work. They replaced a pair of Sony headphones which stopped emitting audio when the active noise-cancellation circuitry died. The Sennheisers block more of the mid and high level conversation noise (32db attenuation) and sound much better. Additionally, since they are "pro DJ" headphones, Sennheiser offers replacement cords and earcups.
