Maybe, but Pro-4A's are very uncomfortable.  (Vise grips is an apt
term!) I have a pair of Sennheiser 430's that are both comfortable 
(they're lightweight, but around the ear), and have excellent response 
(both bass and otherwise).  Organ music can be uncanny in the 430's 
(I've often been tricked into thinking my speakers were still on, due 
to their good bass response.  Oh yes, the 430's can be had relatively
cheaply.  I bought mine for ~$70.
