I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD477's, some EH2200's and a pair of
Sony MDR-V700's.
I got the HD477's first. I've never been happy with them from a
comfort perspective, and their sound quality isn't as good as either
of the others.
The EH2200's sound much better, and are somewhat more comfortable.
They cut out ambient noise much better - to the point where I don't
hear people speaking to me. I use them at work for that reason :)
They also seem much better made than the HD477's.
The Sony's are the winners hands down, though. They weigh much more,
but have a much more comfortable headband. The Sennheiser's feel like
they're made for someone with a much taller, thinner head than I have.
These Sony's fit nicely. Sound quality is noticeably richer, with
good low tones. Not as much noise blocking as the EH2200's, but I'll
trade that for comfort and sound quality. They also feel more solid
and well constructed.
YMMV, of course.
