    I find my ears get very hot when I used the normal closed back headphones and it gets uncomfortable

    From a pure comfort point of view I always liked the K171 from AKG

    They sound good are very light and the earcup goes around the lug, so you don't get 'Studio Ear' .... a dreadful affliction.

    i've mentioned them before: sennheiser HD580, 600 or 650. All very comfy and excellent performers.
