Thanks for that list Sumo; I might be choosing something from there soon. Consider your beer list debt paid in full!

From the list, here are the ones I use and am very satisfied with:

AKG K401

AKG K501

Note that they're "open" headphones, which means someone sitted next to you won't be able to concentrate on his book if you listen to Naked City.

My 2 cents.
