Here's the setup...
I started my own business about 5 months ago and have been working from home on my MP but just got a MBP over the weekend. I've now been working at my local public library but can't turn up iTunes like I do at home. The solution is a really comfortable pair of headphones. The criteria other than comfort is they have to be over the ear so that other people aren't bothered by my listening. The also have to be somewhat portable. I carry a messenger bag with my papers, the MBP and other stuff so it has to fit along with everything else. Finally, sound fidelity should be good. Although I'll be listening for long periods of time, these don't need to be something of audiophile quality but they should be good. As far as price goes...somewhere between $20 and $200 should do it.
As an aside, it's unfortunately that my pair of Joseph Grado SR200 headphones won't work since they're open air
I also have a pair of Jecklin Float electrostatic headphones I bought 16 years ago in Europe that are not practical. Ugh.
