    I am now looking to buy another headset.

    I have had a pair of Grado SR60's and a pair of Icemat Siberia headset. Each has their pro's / con's.

    The grado's sounded AMAZING (I have had them for over 5-6 years, but they are really uncomfortable for long periods of listening). I always use my headset when I am on the computer, so I would need somthing that is ULTRA COMFORTABLE. However, after 5 years of intense use, they are breaking in like 5 different places ! :D

    The Siberia's on the other hand were the most comfortable headset's I have ever had. My ears did not touch any of the padding, they were basically free inside the headset. The sound quality was compromised a little bit, and the bass was too low. My last pair broke in one of the plastic rods on the side, so I got a return.

    What I am looking for: Ultra comfortable pair, with good sound quality. At a price under 120-150$. I am not really into gaming as much (thats why I bought the icemat's, but I wasnt that disapointed with them). My main use would be for music. I have heard good things about Sennheiser, but please give any recommendations that you have.

    Specify which models you have had, and what you recomend please. (Pro's and con's would be nice!)

    Thanks
