Anybody have any headphone recommendations?

Looking for some over-ear, maybe on ear headphones. Something comfortable, and doesn't boost the bass insanely like beats.
Also, just general discussion over headphones, so I don't seem that selfish.

If you're into the whole "being active with music" thing, Skullcandy's pretty hard to beat in the warranty department. They give you 50% off a new pair of 'phones if you break 'em while being out and about.
For listening, I love Audio-Technica monitors.

I'm using AKG K141 Studio... great for music production (very transparent).
Ant they are light and comfortable.

Shure SRH 440's, less than 70$ on Amazon, from all that I've read, for the money they are great. Less bassy than the sennheisers.

This, my M50's are pretty boss. @wsas3, what kind of price range are you looking for?
Anyone use noise-cancelling headphones? Sometimes I think they'd be cool for airplanes and studying and not having to crank the volume to crazy levels in noisy places and stuff, but then I look at prices and say no.

Im thinking 100-130, although I wouldn't mind spending more than that for something that'll put out for a long time. Those shures look like a good deal, dont need crazy amount of bass. I'll look up the rest once I get home. Thanks everyone!

I'll third this, I love my Audio Tecnica ATH-M50's. There may be cheaper places around, but I found that the combination lowest price on the headphones and shipping to Canada was at
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATH-M50, if you click the link for the coupon code you can get an additional $30 off (I think it was $50 when I bought mine a few months ago though).

I've got some Brainwavz HM5's on preorder. From what I've read, they're supposed to be good.

I love my AKG K-240's for tracking when there is not a lot of high volume stuff - really shine for vocal tracking and acoustic instruments.
For LOUD stuff, i like the extreme isolation ex29's - IMO, the best all around studio headphone. Great warranty and replacement for "accidental" damage!
