Hi,

I'm looking for a comfortable and durable closed type headphone, below are my requirement.

- My Rig: PC
- Type of usage: Slow music and videos with a lot of vocal (mainly recordings of seminar or youtube reviews)
- File format: mp3,mkv,avi,youtube streaming
- Music genre: oldies
- Budget: Below RM200
- Headphone/ earphone type: Closed/Circumaural
- Other requirements (if any): Most important it has to be comfortable for almost non-stop usage above 8 hours daily, and provide good isolation from background noise, and minimal sound leakage. Sound quality is not that important as long as it is good enough for my type of usage (as stated above).

I'm not an audiophile. My first true headphone is AKG K55 which I bought in 2001 (if I'm not mistaken), and I use it almost everyday until the left driver 'kong' in October last year (9 years of abuse). So I bought an Audio Technica ATH-T200 and last month the joint between the headband and the cups broke making it useless (cheap plastic).

I've done some research and I found most review only talk about the sound quality and seldom about the comfortability of the headphone. I've narrowed down to 3 candidates:

Superlux HD660 (cheap but concern about durability)
Pioneer SE-M390
AKG K77
JVC RX700 (cannot find new in lelong or lyn)

Any other recommendation that I should look into? I'm in Perlis so there a no audio shop for demo so I rely on recommendation and review only.
