High-end headphones

Are there any particular brands/models one would recommend for VGM? I know there are various "styles" of VGM just like with regular music (Meguro's metal/rock, Sakuraba's heavy synth, Mitsuda's ethnic/Celtic styles), but a lot of it is still synthed, just very well synthed.

I was thinking Grado SR-80s, but if there's something better, that'd be good. Also, one of you mentioned sound leaking out of Grados for others to hear. How bad is it, and are there any other fixes than modding pads for other headphones (I've found myself in a situation wherein I don't have much free time anymore) to fit? I work in an office with a lot of support calls and chatter going on around me, and while 'phones help to cut down the surrounding noise, I don't want to disturb anyone either.

Also, I find earbuds uncomfortable nearly to the point of being unwearable, so I'd prefer suggestions of either regular extra-aural phones, or mondo ear-swallowing phones like the Grados.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Errrmmmmm...anything that's still decent for VGM but won't cost me a week's pay?

Sorry, I really don't mean to be picky. It's just that it'd be for an office environment, and I'll still be getting up, moving around, putting them on and taking them off, and talking to other folks. Just need something for those stretches when I'm alone with only the Sarbanes-Oxley docs to keep me company.

Let's put it this way: what's the best sub-$130 set of VGM/synth/really-good-synth-you'd-swear-it-was-classical-Sung-Woon Jang-I-am-looking-at-you-friendly headphones I can get?

Thanks, I really appreciate it.
