For years I've been using Philips headphones. The last ones I had I bought in 2008 and replaced them just a few days ago. I prefer over ear cans to other variations. I can't stand to have something shoved into my ear canal and cans that just lay on my ears don't give me the same sound experience as over ear headphones.
Since my desk is in the bedroom, I needed headphones that are noise canceling. Don't want to disturb the Mrs. while she is sleeping. My price limit was 130 Euros. I could afford something in the 500 Euro range, but I listen to most media content on the PC and a 500 Euro pair of headphones wouldn't make any difference in sound quality compared to something in a lower price range.
Here's what I bought:
Sennheiser HD 569, purchased for 120 Euros
These are some really good noise-isolating over-ear headphones. I can turn them up as loud as I want without disturbing anyone and the sound quality is excellent. They are also very comfortable and I can easily wear them for long periods of time. I highly recommend these.
