Headphone suggestions?

[bitchstewie]

Could I get some suggestions on a set of over-ear headphones that are suitable to use with a computer for music/video listening please?

I had some Beyerdynamic DT231's which are at work and they're comfy and sound great and must be 10 years old, I had a quick look on Amazon and got a bit confused with the various ohm ratings of some of the Beyerdynamics range.

Sorry, budget would have helped £100 or maybe a bit more if I felt I was getting something that would last as they could get a fair amount of use.

I mostly use a Macbook Pro, no idea where that sits in terms of what it can support/drive Ohm wise?

One perhaps daft thing is that I'm a little cautious of anything with plastic earmuffs as I can imagine them getting a bit uncomfortable after a while vs. fabric, or am I being daft?

DT770 was what I had my eye on at Amazon but the Ohm thing has confused me as some of the same model of headphone are cheaper or more expensive depending on the Ohm rating.

Thank you, certainly open to suggestions, just unfortunate that these things are seldom stocked locally and Youtube reviews of headphones are a bit.. well..

Thanks all, ended up ordering a set of Fostex headphones which are on Amazon @ £19.99

They're cheap but seem to get good reviews and I want to do a little homework on whether there's a greater benefit in a USB DAC + basic headphones vs. onboard audio and more expensive headphones.

For twenty quid if they sound OK it's sorted, if they don't they'll do for work.
