Yet another headphone suggestion request

[MindWanderer]

I'm listening to music or something pretty much all day at work, and I need to be aware of what's going on around me, so I need headphones that don't shut out the world and are lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for many hours at a time.  Right now I use the simple and cheap Panasonic RP-HT21's, which meet my comfort and openness requirements, but the sound is distinctly on the tinny side.  I often switch to other headphones that aren't so comfortable when I'm judging, but I can't wear them all day.  I'm not remixing with these, so they don't need to be high-end, but a more flat frequency response would be nice to have.

Any suggestions?

I got some Sennheiser HD 497's per GrayLightning's suggestion for about $60 back when I started judging, and I've been rolling with 'em ever since (13 years). They're discontinued, but you could try other types of Sennheiser over-ear headphones. Never been uncomfortable wearing mine for long periods of time.

I have a 20ish year old pair of Sennheiser headphones. They still work perfectly fine and have some of the best sound quality I've ever experienced. Sennheiser is definitely recommended.

Yeah, I have a pair of Sennheisers for home use, but they're pretty hefty, and they provide too much sound isolation for me to use at work.  That was one thing in the Amazon reviews for the HD 497's that's keeping me from figuring out what their present-day equivalent is.  (Folks also mentioned that they pinch, which is a problem I have with a lot of headphones.)

The Sennheiser HD 2.20s seem to have the form factor I want, but they're the successor to the HD219S, which, according to graphs.headphone.com, are really bass-heavy.  Anyone have experience with those or anything like them?
