Try Grado SR60s
Apr 7, 2008 12:02PM PDT

Grado SR60s are highly efficient and offer superior sound at a very reasonable $70. I use them with my ipod and continue to be amazed at the clean highs and tight bass. They play as loud as you'd want with an MP3 player since they're very efficient. Sound as good as headphones priced at twice their cost, and have the features you asked for. Try a google search for reviews.

I came across quite a number of reviews recommending the new aurvana live headphones from creative. The headphones look stylish with the glossy earcups. audio was said to be sharp and clear too. sound really nice to me!

Skull Candy Lowriders or Skull Candy Hesh's. Im abosuletly in love with my Lowriders. Sound is great, like candy for your skull Grin. Not that expensive either, you can get either for $30-$45. skullcandy.com
