Comfortable Headphones!

I recently got a job as an e-mails agent at a call center, and can listen to my heart's content. That is, until my headphones start crushing my earlobes.
What are some decent headphones that I would be able to wear for several hours at a time with little to no ear pain?
I do have larger than normal ears, for reference :P

I wear them for hours at a time, then collapse them and fit them in the front pocket of my bag. Very worth it.
You definitely want a "big can" type of headphone, as they don't even make contact with the ear lobe itself and lend themselves to long-term comfort. It might be hard to judge the size from pictures, but for the 555's as long as your ears aren't bigger than 3x2 inches you're in the clear.
When it's between the 280pro's and the 555's it basically comes down to where you're using them. In public or right next to coworkers? Go with the 280's. At home or in a room/space you have to yourself? The 555's.
They're the same price and will both sound wonderful, but the sound stage of the 555's is wider due to their open nature.
I'd bet they're about the same though.
