SynergyEclipse wrote Looking for some around ear headphones, around low to mid 100's. I know ATH M50's are good, and that's what I'm thinking about. I also like Sennheiser though. I mainly listen to Rap, Hip hop, Dubstep, Techno, Jazz, Blues, RnB, Rock, Metal, and just about anything in-between.

Brainwavz HM5 if you want something neutral in that price range. If you don't like the design, check out the Ultrasone HFI-580. Both are better than the M50. You could also take a look at the Philips Citiscape Uptown if you want something more portable.

If you want an IEM, the Future Sonics Atrio X is perfect for you. Over-ear, the Sony MDR-XB500. On-ear, the Philips Citiscape Metro.

Thanks, I love hearing that people appreciate it. I want to make the OP much prettier though, right now it's... Not up my standards.

The AKG K550 sounds about right for you, but there are some things you should know. Apparently, some people hate the sound, although personally I've only seen glowing reviews from big names in the industry. They're reasonable portable with swiveling cups, but they're rather large. Your decision.

You could also check out the Shure SRH940, but I'd actaully go for the V-Moda M80 if you want something portable. Save a good bit of money.

If you're more concerned about quality, get something that's wired. You have to compromise a lot to get wireless, and you pay a lot more for the same sound you'd get in wired headphones. If you want a portable, full-size bassy headphone, check out the Ultrasone Pro 900, Audio Technica Pro 700 MkII, and V-Moda LP2. Here's the best price I've been able to find on the Pro 900, but you'll have to wait a bit until they're in stock. I'm pretty sure B&H ships to Canada, and you can contact them to inquire about stock of these if you want. Sign up for email notifications like I did, that's how I got my friend a pair for this price.

If you want something on-ear, you could get the Audio Technica ES10, but I'm not sure about availability or pricing. Instead you could get the Aiaiai TMA-1 or wireless Sennheiser MM400. The AKG K181DJ is great too if you want to save some money.

If you must have wireless over-ear headphones, you could get the Sennheiser MM 500-X or MM 550.
