I am not sure, but I would get some nice Senns.

I have the Technics RP-1200 and they are great for DJing and I don't get any discomfort, but when I sit with them at work I find the pressure is really too much and it does not feel good on the ears. FYI, the Technics are supra-aural so they sit on your ear but still do a great job with sound isolation.

OVERRATED!! Not worth 250 bones IMO...

Senns are pimp cans... great sound and super comfy...

I like the Sony Eggo's for ONLY listening...

For the love of god avoid v700 like the plague. Besides the fact that their horrible sound and way overdone bass is made for deaf DJ's, they're flimsy pieces of plastic shit that will break on you. Mine did, and I took the finest care of them.

In this price range they should have a 1/4" plug and come with a 1/8" adaptor. My Technics work by having a 1/8 plug and then the 1/4 adaptor screws into it so it is very secure and will no come off while maintaining a solid connection.
