Headphone options

I'm looking for a pair of headphones that produces a nice amount of bass and are extremely comfortable to wear. I plan on using them for gaming, watching anime, and listening to music... but mostly gaming and anime I imagine.

Anyway, I found the following models that don't seem to be too bulky or look silly:

Sennheiser pmx 60
Sennheiser PX 200
koss ksc-55
Sennheiser HD497
Sony MDR-G74SL

Which of these do you think is the most worthy purchase and why? I thought about perhaps taking it on the go for running and such, which would mean that some of these options automatically have their over the top of the head design as a con, since I couldn't easily run and such with them.

I have only owned 2 of those listed sets: the px200's and the ksc-55's. In terms of comfort, if pleather doesnt bother you, the px200's are amazing - soft, plush, and lightweight as well as great sounding (especially the bass, imho). I didnt like the ksc-55's at all - I found the sound just so-so and the comfort was also so-so.

Other features about the px200's: they keep ALOT of sound in (so your roomates wont mind) and they also keep a little sound out (but not much) - but this is actually good for running - you wont hear all the noise around you but you wont be deaf to oncomming traffic. Also, imho they are good looking so you wont be embarressed going outside with them. Lastly, soundwise, they're a pretty good deal for the money.

The only reason I had to sell mine is because my ears get irritated when coming into contact with pleather for more than an hour. It starts to feel burny and scratchy. I dont think most people have this problem though.

Since you're doing gaming, everything about a headset? Ya'know one with a microphone? I just had Plantronics Audio 90's till someone broke them at my LAN Party, very excellent headset, and I just ordered DSP-500's from Newegg.
