I have Grado SR60 headphones that I like but my wife says she can hear the music while I'm wearing them . What are some quality headphones that do a better job of keeping the music " contained " ? Thanks .

he short answer to that is a pair if closed back headphone or iem's Inner ear monitors without a price range


AKG K270 Studio Headphones or the akg 27I lots of choices out there.

Can I get anything decent for one hundred bucks ?

Hello
Check out some of these http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-application/traveling/ They are good people to deal with although you can some time find better prices.

For a small budget like that if I was you I would look at IEM type headphone like the Vmoda Vibes (www.v-moda.com) or offerings from Shure or UE.  You seem to value sound quality, so if your budget grows later on you can look at the AKG 271 or even quite a bit better and more expensive, the Audio Technica W5000

After some research I'm leaning toward the IEM type . I have had a headphone amp for audio quality so maybe comfort and durability should be considered more important ?

Cruise head-fi.org and see what points of view the various related forums offer. One nit - you may need to sort the chaff from the wheat from FOTM over there.

Well comfort is very personal, you'll have to go try them out.  I myself can't stand IEM phones other then the time spent in the public transit or at the gym.  For my taste most full size headphones (except Grado) are fairly comfy.  I sometimes listen my Audio Technica W5000 when I go to bed and I could listen to them for the whole night if sleep wasn't a human basic need!    As far as durability,  I think your budget will determine durability!    If you have a really tight budget, you'll be satisfied with whatever you buy, if your budget is flexible, you might buy a $100 set right now and want to change it for a $500 pair in a few months.  That's the never ending story of audio, but it's fun!

I recently picked up ATH M50s - this is my first closed headphone and I am very happy.
You can pick one up NEW for $150 or less including shipping.

They are easy to drive and don't leak too much sound.

Cheers
