I'm after a new pair of headphones and ideally need the moon on a stick option of comfort, relatively accurate/flat sounding and under £100. I'm editing video in an office so they need to be closed back and wearable for long periods of time without getting uncomfortable. I'm currently using marshall monitors which sound great but the pads aren't deep/plush enough for me and after a while the plastic ends up pushing my ear against my head and digging in, uncomfortable! Don't need to be completely perfect sounding but I want a fairly accurate representation.
HD280 Pro seems like the standard option? Anything else worth a look?

They're not flat, a bit forward in the treble, but if you're editing I find that useful, at least with audio anyway (i.e. easy to hear pops/clicks/errors)
I've used them for years and they are a good budget headphone that doesn't hype the sound.
They are THE industry standard for a reason.
They ain't pretty but every part is replaceable- the cable is removable- when it breaks you buy a new one.
If you do get one (and you should) then make sure you get the 16ohm ones if you are working in your studio alone most of the time.
The 400ohm version is used in studios where you are connecting multiple musicians to the same mix via a splitter.
