Alternative to Bose QC2s

I tried on the Bose QC2s in the Apple Store a few days ago and instantly fell in love with them. I have returned to the store no fewer than three times since then, and each time I am amazed at how comfortable they are. I currently have Sennheiser PX200s and I love them; however, after more than 3 hours they really get uncomfortable.

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on any alternatives to the QC2s that are as (or almost as) comfortable. I don't mind paying a lot - perhaps even $300 - but the Bose's just seem like a rip of for what they are: the sound quality was unimpressive.

Comfort is most important for me (size isn't, although I find on-ear more comfortable) Price also is not a deciding factor though I don't want to spend $300 when I can spend $100. Any ideas? Something similar to Bose comfort-wise would be ideal.

Thanks!

Cheers,
