AKG, Shure, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser....
All to fancy for my simple taste - for great quality, comfort and value my pick is Fostex Txx headphones..

They might be a bit hard to find, but imho they worth the extra effort.
p.s: Maybe Sony does have rare success with their headphones, but I'd never know about it since their mediocrity,over-hyped brand and high prices are legendary
