I can stress it enough, give Grado a try.

If its for portable use, you might want to reconsider, but now every time I try some other cans in the same price range, they just dont compare to the sound that I get from my Grado SR 225's.

The first thing you should decide is what kind of headphone/earphone do you want?!
my favourite kind is in-ear headphones , when you insert the earphone bud into the ear canal , which completely isolate the outside noises .
for a few years i'm sticking with 'shure' - they are a very important name in the audio technology development , and released quite a few hi end earphones.
i had : SE110 , SE210 and now i use SE215 which are great for their price , which kind of what you wanted to spend.
I'd go with SE215
if you have a store which you can try some kinds of earphone of course this would be the best..
and don't forget that your audio source ( ipod, selular, mp3 player) is very important.
apple sources ( ipod , iphone ) being very high quality.
good luck and keep us posted.

This site may be of interest to you: http://www.goodcans.com/HeadphoneReviews/Reviewss/recommendations.html.
I've got a pair of cheap Koss Portapro open back collapsible ones (1st ones in the list) and for the money (about 25 GBP) they are outstanding (with a good rich bass).
 
A UK site which gives helpful advice and reviews is this one: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/best-headphones-earphones-guides.html, but there's no substitute for going to the store in person, and trying a selection out on the sort of music you are going to be listening to at home.
 
Good luck!  Smile

This isn't the first time the question has been raised.  Barring just trying some out in a store, Consumer Reports tests stuff like this.  You will have to pay to get their evaluations but here's a link: http://www.consumerreports.org/

They test and evaluate lots of stuff and don't take advertising so you can count on unbiased integrity.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Go to a store, try some, buy ones that sound good to you and are comfortable.

Hi, I dont know anything about audio, I've always listened to music in low quality speakers/headphones, but now I think its time to finally get something great.
I think I can spend 130 U$D but not more than that.
I listen to Rock/Prog & Metal mostly, then Jazz & Classical.

Thank You! And sorry for my bad english.
