not one the brands you're looking for, but if it's for PC, try out the Logitech G930 wireless headphones. they are about $130 a pop, and i've found them to be pretty much amazing. google for reviews if you are so inclined

True but they are extremely hard to wear for more than a few hours, Ive had a few Grados and they sound great but hurt after a bit

Open to any other suggestions, and always willing to take any advice and/or inputs.

you should try to see if you can find somewhere to test the Audio Technica Pro 700 MK2s ...I had used them back and forth on 7 hour plane trips across to the UK in the past week and are very comfortable for long sessions....my former life I used to produce house tracks and do sound mixing and engineering, and they are quite a decent set for the price..

So the headphones I got sound good, but they are so tight. Any way to make these things more comfortable?
