YMMV. Because I worked in pro audio and sound reinforcemtn,  I've long 
owned a set of David Clark ear protectors, but they are the last thing I 
would want to wear for more than a few hours, let along 24 hours of 
contesting on a weekend.  Sennheiser makes good headphones. So does 
Sony, and I own two pairs.  But for hamming, the best deal by far is the 
Yamaha CM500, which plugs straight into the rear panel of a K3, still 
feels very comfortable after 24 hours, and sounds great on the air.  
Cost about $45.
