Dave,

   It's tough to recommend this kind of thing as it's one of those items 
that are subjective and very different for every user. That said, there 
are tons of guys recommending the Yamaha CM-500 headphones. They can be 
found for sale all over the net at $60. You can find hundreds of reviews 
from everywhere too. You can start by looking at the reviews on eHam.com:

   They are over the ear headphones with a boom microphone. They 
terminate in dual 3.5mm jacks, a mono for the microphone and a stereo 
for the headset.
   I have a pair and I like them though I don't use headphones much so I 
can't comment on long term usage and actually use them more for Skype 
calls but they do sound good and at only $60, a pretty good value in my 
opinion.

Good luck,
Rob
