My headphones died last week. A nice pair of Sennheiser HD415s which I was particularly attached to. The sound was lovely, they cut out stupid people talking (mostly). They looked good, and in winter they kept my ears warm.
My one complaint was that the plug and cable into the iPod was a little weak. This caused me to get a replacement set of 'phones (under warranty) and caused the final death.
So after much hunting review sites I settled on the bigger brother of the HD415, the HD555. In the patois of yoof, 'Like, Oh My God!', these appear to have a 'purer' sound, it's not flatter, more dispersed. Did that make sense? The sound appears to expand better in the open space before it hits my ears. There's more outside noise cut out, and they are very very comfortable (like the HD415s, just not as hot).
Why yes I am happy with them.

Ah, the HD555s - I owned a pair (still do really, but the cable needs replacing and they're in Canada anyway). Loved 'em.
These days I use a cordless pair from Sennheiser (RS146? Something like that). Love them even more, even if (as is to be expected) the sound isn't quite as good.
I'm still trucking along with my HD570's, which i really actually ought to use more.
