If you can get Sony MDR-7506es for your money, snap up a pair. They're pretty much the only good Sonys and they're excellent - very faithful reproduction, not at all fatiguing to listen to for long periods, just maybe not with the "staging" you'd get with the high end Sennheisers or Grados. I listened to some very expensive Grados once and it was like someone built a concert hall in my head - unbelievable. Unfortunately the cheaper Grados are not as nice - a little too peaky in the high end for my ears.

by the way, a really good headphone test is to play toe tac tic by crunch through them... I found that for some reason, that song's clicks at the beginning really accentuate a headphones flaws if it has any. Oddly, the cheapest little sony's I believe had the best sound.

grados and I assume sennheisers as well need to be broken in for about 25 hours before they start performing right, so they may sound funky or crappy before then
just a small tip

GRADO LABS
once you buy a pair you'll never go back.
Or if you want something for a smaller budget, audiophile mags and websites have and will continue to rave about the KOSS Portapro.
