Default it definitely depends..

on your taste..

if you can afford to spend money , sure go for the audiotecnica mod. ATH-A1000 . give a listen to them , i can easy say they best out senn. top phones and grado low end serie .they're a step forward for overall concept of musicality , where senn. are somewhat a little anonymous sounding and grado are limited in soundstage and provide a less " deep " experience of listening .

if you can spend few money , go for koss sporta pro . i think they 're the best among porta / sporta pro / ksc 35 , for they can be customized better then the other two . they're portable .
CONS : they 're a little mid-bass driven and monotone , you can easily discover that different type of music and instruments sound somewhat similar out of this headphones..they concentrate attention ( and "sound pressure" ) on mid-low to low freq. for everything ( voice music and all that come out from them ).

if you don't want portable cans and you want good cans for bargain price , go for sennn. 497 or , if you can find them , technics rf400- i've bought a pair of them for 30 $ , they're sound is full in frequency , musical , they're very conf. , deteile is not high as other mon. type cans but they're also detailed , they're neutral with a very good bass layout to support mids and high frq. ( not as the koss ksc 35 which tends somewhat to reduce the whole sound to a short set of mid- low frq ) freq. are well rapresented -go for them if you can find them ( not the rf-500 , they've got harsh high )

and .. what else ?
nothing .
