I'm not SwellJoe, but I'll jump in to recommend Sony's MDR7506 headphones. These aren't consumer junk. They're comfortable, sound good, and are widely used by professionals for soundboard, editing, and broadcasting work. Next time you go to a show, take a look at the soundboard - chances are the folks working it will be wearing 7506 headphones. I think they're about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of those Beyerdynamics, too.
