Headphone comfort has been a challange for me!
I have several ProSets - They have good audio, like Bill said.   I don't 
like them because they are uncomfortable - after about 5 or 6 hours my left 
ear hurts.
The JBL noise canceling headphones feel better, sound better, but after 5 or 
6 hours they hurt.   The $35, made in China, noise cancelling headset from 
Meijer (like a WalMart or KMart) are very good for the long run, but they 
don't sound as good.
Just picked up a very good pair of computer gaming headset and electret boom 
mike attached.  150 ohms impedance and so far they sound great .... I guess 
NAQP in Aug will be the test to see if they can last over 5 hours.
If they do, I'll have a couple Heil Pro sets for sale.
