Best headphones wanted

Ok I got a new ipod, but I don't like the ear bud things. I'm looking for the most comfortable headphones around, stuff that won't make my ears ache after a long poker session.. Something on the smaller light weight side. Excellent sound too, and able to hear table conversations when the volume is low.. I don't want to seal off the outside noise. Any suggestions?

thx.. BB

you've got to have a budget for these things. Etymotics, makes amazing earbuds. But you've got to decide many things.

Closed headphones - these isolate you from "noise" outside factors

Open headphones - these allow sound from the outside, a likely choice.

you need to choose headphones/earbuds/earphones.
