Default Best Pair of Headphones Under $150?

Here's my setup:

Sharp Aquos 46" 1080p LCD TV
Yamaha RX-V663 Receiver
XBOX 360
PS3

Here's my question:

What would be the best wired or wireless RF headphones I can get for $150 or less? My only stipulation is that I want them to connect using the full-size headphone jack on the front of the RX-V663 without using any adapters. I don't want a mini-jack that I have to put an adapter on and I don't want left and right RCA jacks that I have to put a Y-adapter on. Any suggestions?

Sennheiser HD595 can be found for about $150 online.

They use a minijack plug but come with the adapter and it has no signal loss.

Thanks for the suggestion, I also found this one while I was at the Sennheiser website: Sennheiser RS 140 RF Wireless Headphone System.

I think I might get it instead, I'd rather have a wireless set I think.

Thanks again.

I have the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros and LOVE them...Just got a pair for a friend too. They are wayyyy better than the overpriced bose junk.

Look at the Grado SR-60 or SR-80s as well.

I got a pair of wireless 120s refurbed from Buy.com for like $30 a couple years ago. They are fantastic, but sometimes get a little static depending on where you sit. But you can just switch channels and fix the problem 99% of the time. Awesome purchase - I hate wires.
