Hey Art, maybe Pioneer SE-MJ7NC can satisfy your needs.

Artemiy, you might find that the only closed-ear solution is those big ones, just because they need to be big enough to fit around your ears. And yes, I like the AKG's for that.

Been recording vocals most of the day with the AKG K77's and I am happy to report that I don't have any trace of a headache - so that's good right? lol

In fact I think my ears enjoyed the whole thing. The phones performed well for me during takes, felt like they weren't even there, the monitoring was a pleasure.

This thread has made me realise that some people rely on phones a lot more than I do, I only need them for vocal takes - I don't live in surburbia, so I can do all my mixing, recording and monitoring at full pelt out there in the real world - yay.

So I'm probably not the best person to ask, but I'm happy with them.

I would suggest the Audio Technica ATH-FC700 folding phones. They sound great, and have gotten a lot of good reviews. They sell in the 40-50 dollar range.
