Headphones Options

[inadaze]

I'm in the market for some new headphones for recording music on my computer. Could anyone suggest a brand that is good? I would also like some idea of what is good quality. Maybe list somethings to look for in a set of headphones...
I'm also a poor student and i'm looking in the range of 100-150 dollars Canadian (or less if possible).

Thanks
Jay

I love the Sennheiser HD600's for studio monitoring/mixing and even home audio listening. their sound is about as totally neutral as you can get and they are really comfy to wear for hours on end. They are a little pricey though but you can catch them at bargain prices on newegg.com once in a while. I used to have the Sennheiser HD580's and while not quite as refined they are great for most studio work and are about 90% as good as the HD600's for a lot less money.

a great site to check out is www.headphone.com their reviews of each headphone is so honest it's scary. they will clearly tell you which ones to stay away from and even point you to cheaper ones that sound better, all right on the summary page. It's refreshing to hear someone to tell it like it is.
hope this helps,
