I do want ones with the cup around the ear like those. Anybody have some experience with some good ones that are no more than $65.00, or can anyone recomend any. Thanks

I have a similar SENNHEISER pair, it does cup my ears nicely, but its a bit tight. It squeezes a bit hard. But it does sound nice.

that thread helped, I think ill go with some Sennheiser's since everybody seems to recommend those. I dont have any experience with headphones really, I just need some that sound really good and clear. thanks for the replies

Thanks all, I ended up getting the HD280 PRO's, A little more than I was going to spend. Newegg has them for 99.99, and then I got an e-mail from them with a bunch of stuff on sale and what do you know, there they were with a promotional code to get them for like 79.99.

Well if you like that kind of cable good for you.

Sennheiser's are really nice!

Honestly as funny as it sounds coming from my mouth I do like Bose headphones also, but you are crawling up to $100+ there instantly.

Yes, I tried out the bose, the ones that cup around your ears, they do sound awesome but they were $179.00.

That is the downside, and sleeping with them may not be the best idea, they are kinda built a little cheap on the durability factor.
