Might I also suggest along those lines, The Alessandro MS-1i headphones. They have the same drivers as the SR80, but they are slightly cheaper (depending where you're buying from).

I got these for 79$ on a sale last year. My best 79$ so far. I use it 10 hours every day both at home and office. The SR 125 is a good bet too.

I've got the SR60. They are $20-30 cheaper than the 80s, but the same construction.
1. Best sound I've ever heard from headphones (compared to Bose QC2, Seinnheiser HD-280/202, Audio-Technica ATH-M50). Frequency response sounds flat to my ears but it could use a bit more dynamic range. However, the great sound is partly due to their open back design which leaks sound like a siv. This means I can't listen to music as loud as I want sometimes when in the office or library.
2. Huge foam cushions are super comfy. I often leave them on for full 8 hour days with no comfort issues.
3. Well built mainly due to their simplicity. They have a very unique retro design which I like but others may think is ugly. 1 year warranty.
Audio is very subjective so reviews like this aren't worth much. Your best bet is to find an audio dealer that sells the headphones you're interested in for a couple hours of listening.
