For a nice open-backed full size headphone in this price range, Sennheiser's HD 558 (around $US190; pictured left) is one of the best choices I've come across. Lightweight, and well padded, the HD 558 is among my most comfortable headphones (at any price), and I have a lot of headphones here.
The plastic they're made from is light enough not to press on your head, but strong and durable enough to withstand wear and tear. Another cool feature is the removable lead: there's a jack plug where the wire joins onto the body of the headphones, which you can easily remove and replace.
