I'm looking for open cans for movies that are comfortable, budget about $50. What do you guys suggest? Thanks.

I was thinking of spending a little more for the AKG K240 Studio headphone. Is that a good choice for movies? Amazon has them for $76 shipped.
 
Is there a better choice for $75 or less?
 
Thanks.

The K240s aren't bad, a bit more refined than the Superlux. Anything negative that can be said about them has more to do with how much people liked the older versions. I voted the Superlux though since you can use Beyer pads on them - haven't tried those myself but apparently they can enhance both comfort and sound. The K240's earpads are too thin for me (like the stock pleather pads on the HD330) but I haven't read any feedback on how they are with, say, K6x2 earpads.

Thanks. I wonder why no one else is responding.

I tried the Porta Pro before and didn't like them. I do like the KSC75, but I want a full size over the ear can. Thanks.
