Have the AKG 701s and like them very much. Light, but they are rather large. And as mentioned, open, so no isolation. Sitting and working with these on wouldn't be very easy IMHO. But they sound very sweet.
I've picked up a pair of Beyer DT1350s to use as a light pair around the house, and also when travelling. Good isolation, great sound, well balanced, but as an on-ear, light and comfy. Before these, had Senn Amperior (upgraded HD25s), also very good, but the Beyers seem more refined and easier to listen to. Besides, the wife stole the Senns.

For a 'primer', check out Inner Fidelity's site, lots of great info/reviews.
