And one of my main criteria is comfort, as I often wear them for hours at a time, nearly every day; as long as they sound good - i.e. I can hear the bass, no crackling or obvious distortion, etc. - I don't really care about sound quality that much.
I'm probably gonna keep my current ones for a while until they start to fall apart (the mic's already broken XD), since they suit my needs perfectly.

Everyone has different tastes (treble vs. bassy vs. neutral, open vs. closed, small vs. big, etc.) so I can't tell you 100% what will work best for you but I can point you in the right direction to useful information to help you make an informed discussion.
