Not quite done asking for headphone help

Quick History:
After reading the headphone help thread I decided on a pair of Sennheisers
Was steered away from them to another pair of Senn HD 280 Pros
Loved the sound quality but, alas, they were a little too goofy looking to walk around campus with (the headband sticks out an inch and half from the side of my head)
SO,
I'm looking for:
-Closed
-Circumaural
-Moderate to good quality (if they aren't as good as the 280s but still pretty good, no problem. Not an audiophile but I do appreciate quality)
-$0-$200 price range
Will be using them for:
-Ipod (mainly, some comp use for sleeping roomates)
-Around campus
Been looking at:
Senn HD 201 and 205
My question/plee:
HeadRoom has pictures of these on a foam head thingy but I still cant tell if they are going to be sticking way off my head like the 280s did. Do you have any suggestions of different models (any brand) that would fit my needs. Size is not really an issue as long as they stay relatively close to my head.

Anyway, the Beyerdynamic DT 231 look like they might work for you, though I'm not certain that they are circumaural. The blurb says that they are comfortable though.
Their DT 250-80 also look like they wouldn't bulge out much.
