I am looking for headphones with these features

• Durability (Preferably no plastic headband)
• A great sound stage including bass
• Very comfortable

All for $100 or less.

Thanks Guys!

I will go with simca. She is the local audiophile.

The CAL are essentially one of the older Denon models.

They're recommended all over the place.

Other models in that price range (can't comment on sound stage or bass, I've not heard them):

Audio Technica AD700
Grado SR80i (probably not what you're looking for)
Fostex T50RP
AKG K240 (these ones I have, and they're nice)

The fostex would be my choice simply because you can mod them into what ever sort of headphone you like. But you will probably need some type of amp, or sound card with amp.

I ended up deciding I didn't want to drop $100 and just grabbed a really cheap pair of KOSS UR40's for $25. Nothing special, but for $25, whateva.

One month with those and you'll be back.

Some KOSS UR40's. They sit on the head well but they lack any real cushion for the ears, so after about 2 hours of wearing them my ears begin to get sore. They're also overall unimpressive sound quality wise. They aren't horrible, they're just "OK"

You could try changing the cushions, but honestly you'd probably be way better off getting a decent pair of headphones that you'll be much happier with.
