I currently have Sony MDR-V600's, which for the most part sound great. However, the earpads have completely worn out, and replacement pads pretty much cost as much as the headphones themselves.
So I'm shopping around.
My requirements are:
* High quality
* Comfortable
* Closed-back over-the-ear
In-ear monitors are not an option, because I need to be able to take them off and put them back on rapidly, and not have to deal with earwax.
Closed-back is important for both attenuation of outside noise, as well as ensuring people around me don't hear what I'm listening to. Otherwise, I would be getting a set of Grado's.
So far this is at the top of my list:
Sennheiser HD-265
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Profess...3798457-0459612
$143.49
Technical info: http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...st_headphones#
I have not listened to these particular headphones, but I have listened to similar Sennheiser's in this pricerange (albiet open-back), and found them to be very high quality and comfortable. Unfortunately I don't know of any stores that actually have high-end headphones that I can actually try out.
I'll take any suggestions under $200, but value is still a consideration.

Probably because they are directed at recording studios. But the DT 770 PRO model is a bit more balanced (not so analytic as most studio headphones) and more pleasant as a HiFi headphone. But they have great transparency nonetheless. I actually think they resale for well under $200 (in Europe anyways).
