I had some professional AKGs that started distorting after like three months of use... I like AKG, sure, but I wouldn't go for their headphones. Then again, that's just one experience.
The HD280s are the way to go.

I've had my AKGs for about a year, and I listen to a lot of music with no issues for mixing, listening, whatever. I initially had a pair of the Sennheiser HD280s, but since I was using them as all around listening stuff, they are kinda heavy. cuz i'm a bitch.

Not to derail but what are you vinyl dudes using for at home listening and such?

Well, let's contrast with this: When my old Bose around-ears broke, I got the price I paid for them subtracted from the cost of the brand new unit with my warranty.
Also, Bose AE2s are among the most comfortable headphones I've personally worn. They also don't boost the lows like the On-ear versions do.
Just don't use them in the studio.
I really like the slight low boost my bose on-ears have.
I mainly use them for travelling and stuff though, so it helps with the noisy environments. I agree about studio stuff, I've tried recording with them because I love the sound for listening to music, but they just give a misleading playback compared to anything else I play the tracks through.

I'd go Grado for vinyl easychair listenin'.
Love to have a pair of these, but they're like 1 Large. I'm not much of an audiophile, but I just dig the idea of wooden headphones.

yeah for god's sake don't buy skullcandy. i heard a pair of their closed backs once and i couldn't believe how completely shitty they sounded. you could make a better headphone out of twigs and mud
if the hd280s are uncomfortable try the 380s. they're a little tight at first but they loosen up and feel great
