You're welcome.
I like my Beats Solo HD headphones. But I got them from from a friend in the retail business. I don't think I would pay $200 for headphones. I'd look for a pair in the $40 range that sounds good.
That is TOO funny. Good work.
Another thing you may want to consider is getting earphones that completely cover your ears, it can get painful after awhile if they don’t cover entirely.
I recently bought Sennheiser HD 201, very comfortable, cover the ears, and noise canceling, got them at Amazon for around thirty five dollars, I use them on my computer, but cord is really too long for a computer.
I just got a set of Sony wireless headphones. The sending unit plugs into the TV. The headset is rechargeable. Works great and allows movement through the house while listening. $89 at Amazon, $69 at Costco.
They are wireless, VERY comfortable with volume control on headset. Easy to place back on the transmitter unit where they recharge. Mine will go 4-5 days without needing recharging.
Sennheiser makes an RS-140 model which I suppose are a bit better.
If you want true in ear surround sound, Pioneer makes a quality product that does that, but they are very expensive.
. I recommend not getting headphones with a wire. After you become accustomed to wearing them, you are bound to head for the fridge and forget you are connected. That's never good.
For reasons similar to yours, I bought a set at Walmart a few years ago for about $20. They are Logitech. Very light weight, so no ‘pressure’ or discomfort while wearing them. They also have an in-line volume control. They do have the microphone, too, but I really don’t need that.
I especially wanted to in-line volume controller so I could raise and lower the volume at the headphone, not at the TV.
The Logitech headset I bought at Walmart (post #46) have surprisingly good sound quality for the price.
Additionally, I read somewhere that setting the TV’s BASS to 0 and the TREBLE to 100 helps make the audio more discernable.

I am going to try that ...the bass definitely gets in the way.
