Hey y'all.
I currently own and enjoy a pair of Shure 440s and a pair of Klipsch Image S-4s. I like both in terms of sound signature, etc. The problem for me is that the Shure's become exceedingly uncomfortable after while, sometimes in as little as half an hour. Can anyone recommend a pair of cans that sound great and are wearable for hours at a time? I listen to progressive rock, classical, jazz, and easy stuff like Norah Jones, Dylan, etc. My source audio is high(er) res files, but I'm planning to re-rip my stuff to a lossless format. I'd like to spend around $150.00, but I could be persuaded to spend a little more if necessary.
I'm open-minded and have no brand preferences, so lay it on me. And thanks for your time!
