I would say Sennheiser PX100 II. Those are EXCELLENT headphones at any price, but they sit light on your ears and won't get hot, also will let you hear your surroundings. I think you will love them. Not aware of many over the ear phones in that price range. Also headphones big enough to go over your ears may draw unwanted attention from cops if there are laws against driving with headphones in your area. The P100 IIs fold up and go in a little bag. Killer set of headphones. Can't go wrong with those.

cossan512Hey. Thanks for the comment, but I need around the ear and closed headphones. I commute using the subway, so I do NOT want to hear my surroundings ^^

guiniolIn that case would check out the Audio Technica "solid bass" series. These are earbuds with HUGE BASS, I have two pair of the older series and was totally dumbfounded at the deep bass impact they had. These will isolate very well. http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/cf5be327bdeb761c/index.html

cossan512Thanks again, but I can't stand things touching my ear, so I can't do intra-aural nor on the ear. And I care more about comfort than sound quality. I know, weird request ^^

guiniolIf you want really comfortable, you might need to spend a little more. The AKG K7XX are the most comfortable I have ever experienced. If you are not into bass music they are great. I am currently using Shure SRH1540. Those are designed for all day use in a studio. They don't get hot, and are super comfortable. And they are good enough to mix and master with. $500.
An interesting comparison of SRH1540 with the HD800: https://versus.com/en/sennheiser-hd-800-vs-shure-srh1540.

cossan512I really wish I could spend that much, but sadly I can't. Also, these are open backs I think.

guiniolThe 1540s are closed back. Ah, I forgot about the Sennheiser HD380pro! They are circumaural, close back, and they kick ass. Highly recommended. I switched over to M50x for tracking, because I like the sound a little better. But the HD380 has more bass, and is more comfortable. Excellent headphones. $150, but worth every penny.

cossan512Thanks for that. I'll check out the sennheiser HD line when I find it (most shops I've been to only have one or two headphones below 200...)
