    For at home listening, Ive always been a fan of Bose ComfortFit or Soul SL300's. For on the go listening, I love zip phones.

    Some people get tired of on ear headphones because they tend to press over the ear (this usually happens if you have larger ears). I am one of those people. I bought a pair of V-moda's XS (and love them) but I can't have them on for more than 4-5 hours without having my ears ache a bit. On the Other hand, I have 2 pairs of M-100's, and I can tell you... THEY ARE AMAZING. Considering selling a pair and buying the V-moda Wireless since its the same as the M-100's except they have bluetooth capabilities!

    strange my m100's ache my ears after only a couple hours.. Needed a replacement for my HDJ2ks which i used for both at home and DJ'ing and the m100's pressed down on my head.

    Worth noting that I didn't like the M-100s too much originally, earpads were a bit shallow and annoying after a few hours. Larger earpads help.

    Me personally, I never had an issue with the HD25s though. Just always lacked good monitors and never could concentrate on the fun in the low end :P
    Current - 4x CMD PL-1, 1x CMD MM-1, Focusrite Saffire 6, V-Moda M100s, HD25-1-II's, Traktor 2
    Past - Numark Mixtrack, NS6, NV, Serato DJ up to v1.8.1

    Also noting that I wear glasses, and the HD25s + glasses really sucks after about 30 minutes. I do own a pair of the Sony MDR-V6s which I love, but after changing the earpads recently they sound pretty terrible. Don't know why.

    As someone who does not wear glasses, I am confused how other headphones would be more comfortable than the HD-25s with glasses. Care to elaborate?
