Can someone provide me some options for a closed set of cans that I can listen to while laying down?

I want something clean yet full sounding that can work with a variety of musical styles. And fairly durable since they may get tossed off my head in the middle of the night if I fall asleep while listening to tunes.

I'm assuming I'll need to go with something supra-aural to meet the laying down requirement. My budget is $80 or under.

Here's what I could dig up:

Beyerdynamic DT235 $55
Sennheiser HD202 $40
Denon AH-D301K $50

What would be a good choice for my needs, either of the ones mentioned above, or something not listed?

thanks,
J.

Can you get the hd 212s for under $80? I found them to be great headphones for what they were, and they took a fair bit of abuse and only the cable broke.

I would probably go with an IEM if I were you. But, the JVC HA-M750 are very durable from Joker's initial impression. EDIT: You could try find some dbi headphones.

Can't do IEMs-- too many problems with ear infections and I'd have to religiously clean them every night.

I have some DBI's and they're reall nice, but they're pretty big and making laying down and listening to music difficult.

can's are not really comfortable with sleeping. I've used to watch tv laying down... it's not fun with cans. actually it's quite painfull after a couple of minutes.
