For a lower price range, the Grado line is also a good choice imo: the 60s aren't quite as good as the 225s, but great for an $80 headphone.

(However, none of the Grado line is particularly good for an office setting, unless you have a real office with a door and such, since they're open-backed.)

How long can you wear them? I've thought about some model of Grado for home, but I've heard they can be uncomfortable.

They initially bothered me due to the fairly strong pressure from the headband, but it got a bit less tight over time (you can leave the headphones held open around a box or something to speed that up). Now I find them pretty comfortable.
