The Panasonic HTF600 or Monoprice 8323 are some you should take a look at. They have no right sounding so great for so little!

You could also check out the Koss Portapro, Philips Citiscape Metro, and AKG K518. These are all on-ear. If you're looking for something pretty, the Citiscape might be for you!

For producing music a neutral headphone is needed. A good seal helps sometimes too. Try the HD280? The local stores sometimes even have them on display. There's also the KRK KNS6400, but personally I haven't heard them.

Sorry for the delay, been busy. Ishcabible gave you good advice in the thread you started, as did Parall3l. Talk to him since you're in Australia.

They're actually pretty dismal for the price. Also, this is a topic for GETTING advice, not giving. The advice you gave is also bad.
