I've got Sennheiser HD205's. They're pretty good, and definitely good enough for a relatively poor student such as myself.

...and you can very very very much upgrade the HD600 by using a headphones preamp, tubes if possible (such as an "Antique sound lab").

Sennheiser HD600s. Fantastic. Don't have them too loud though (well any headphones really) get a good pair and they'll last. Remember - buy cheap, buy twice, as they say

These are mine:
 
 
PHILIPS SBC HP1000 Headphones
 
I'm not expert, but they are really great. The best that I've tried at least. I bought them for 100$, but that was in Norway.

Indeed, in-ear Shure work -along with "Etymotic"-, AKG too.

Senheiser HD650 is a little more precise than the HD600
but slightly less musical. It remains very good however.

I've got Shure ECM2 in ears which are stellar for the iPod (They are the same transducers many artists use as in-ear monitors - albeit with custom made earpeices) They provide an astonishing stereo soundstage, and with the right ear-peices block out pretty much all external sound too (Great for the train) They are a tad bass light.
 
In the studio I have a pair of AKG K240 Studios.  These are brutally accurate cans and really reveal a mix (They are pretty much de-facto standard in studios and radio stations all over the world) 
 
The Senheiser HD600 (or even HD650) are wonderful headphones too!

Mine are nothing overly fancy, a pair of Philips HS900's. They sound good though, but I'm considering upgrading to something even better.

I have a pair of these:



They might not look very attractive (I kind of dig the retro look though), but they sound VERY good.  I bought a pair after reading some impressive reviews for them on headphone and tech sites.  Previously, I had $20 Sennheiser's that were good for the money (a lot better than cheap, no-name brand ones).  These are a lot better though, my old Sennheiser's had too much bass emphasis whereas these have great lows, mids, and highs.  It has a very warm sound to it as well, which is great.  Overall, my music sounds a lot better.  These cost a decent amount, $70, but are worth every penny.  I can't even imagine how those $500+ headphones with a nice amp must sound...

My headphones have Philips SBC HP200 written on them and they do cover my ears and a bit more. I think I'm satisfied, but then I've never had better.

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD600...It's the best electrodynamic headphones.

To go further, it's "Stax" electrostatic headphones, with their preamps...

I've got a pair which were around $30-40 (Sony brand, I think). Not bad. Big ol' Princess Lea lookin' things that cover my entire ear. I basically use them to watch my DVD's.

I don't have any money, and therefore can't get anything very good.

I sympathise, I've got these worthless pieces of garbage and I really need to get to an electronic store to purchase something decent.

Bose QuietComfort2 Noise Cancelling Headphones. 
 
My Personal Sanctuary to listen to prog.  I hear nothing but the music, whether its Harmonium, Anathema, Gentle Giant, Mile Oldfield, its sound unrreal with the headphones on.
 
Personally, I dont realize the difference between the quality of burned cds and purchased cds with them on.  They both sound fantastic.
