I'm looking for a nice pair of headphones at a reasonable price. I guess anywhere between $20-$100. Also I'd like something that's comfortable. I was looking at the Grado SR60 and SR80 and heard that the they have great sound quality but are uncomfortable. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know a whole lot about heaphones. Though I've always wanted a GOOD pair of Grados.
Here are a couple of links I found my doing a quick search in google for "headphone reviews". At a quick glance they look to contain identical info. Hey, you said "any help is appreciated".

If you can't find a mountain of recommendation here then Lord help you.
Personally I'm going to be buying the Denon AHD-750's but they are more popular for DJ's as their bass and output is phenomenal.
Grado's probably means you want a nice accurate Midrange which means you'll be up against various Sennheiser models like the 590.
Also check out the Phillips 890 is size isn't important. They look really comfy.

I've got the Grado SR80's and I like them a lot. They aren't that uncomfortable to wear... After long periods of extended use (say 3-4 hours) you need a break, but I think that goes for any headphone.
The sound is great! I have some smaller earbuds that I use on a daily basis (with my iBook) but when I pull out the SR80's the sound difference is amazing.
They are open-air, so expect sound leakage. In other words I wouldn't suggest using them in a library, classroom.... you get the picture.

Ok, I checked out sony's site and I figured these to be the most equvilent to the ones i own. <a href="http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/ss5/home/accessories/cdseriesheadphones/mdr-cd580.shtml" target="_blank">MDR-CD580</a>
Again what struck me first was comfort, but also the sound quality is great. They can be extremely loud without distorting (too loud if you ask me).
But I Think comfort should be your first priority, cuz when i was shopping they all sounded pretty good, obviously some were better than others. But They all felt very different on my head. Some instantly gave me a headache, which who cares how good they sound I wouldnt wear them more than a couple minutes. All the reviews in the world wont compair to trying them on.
Sennheiser and Beyrdynamic make the most comfortable ones, but there are many models so check out the reviews.
