Comfy closed headphones for office use

So I'm posting this for a friend.  He asked me for suggestions on headphones for his office job and he's not really an audiophile so I'm thinking no more than $50.  He told me he wants something comfy and he has a big bald head.  I recommended this but I'm not sure how comfy it is.

Any other suggestions?

 

EDIT:  Do you think that semi-open headphones would be bad for office use?  Something like the Superlux HD 681?

I know that the Sennheiser HD201 are very comfy from personal experience and that the Shure SRH440 aren't

Those won't be especially comfortable, they have a pretty high clamping force. I can't give any suggestions because I can't go to most websites with my currently available computer.

Hmmm, I can't say that the HD201's were nice to my ears.

Yea, it looked like it would clamp hard.

For 15$ these are great, but they don't seem comfortable at all. 
Unfortunatelly i am not familiar with the US prices so i don't have a suggestion :(

Maybe something from the HD4XX sennheiser series?

If you can stretch to $80 bro I suggest the Sony mdr7506. The Sony v6 is slightly cheaper if he doesn't want to spend that much. The Laredo is not comfortable.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Weird, I have the complete opposite experience..

 

 

and especially when I put on Shure SRH840 pads on the 440's.

 

and then even better when I got a Sennheiser HD600 headband cushion and used zipties to secure it on.
