Default Looking for some compact headphones

Basically I'm looking for some compact, stylish headphones to use with my Zune while I'm on campus. I was using a pair of Shure E2C's for a while, but I quickly got tired of the way that they felt in my ear. So I'm going back to traditional headphones.

Looking for something under $50 preferably, and up to $100 if I have to.

Great sound, weird looks!!

No thanks on either of those, they look too strange.

They don't necessarily have to be folding, just not super bulky that they'd be weird to be wearing while walking around outdoors.

The only headphones i have that fit the bill is the JBL reference 410's or the iGrado.

you could get lucky and bid on a pair of Bose Triport OE, i've got mine on at the moment.

Oh yeah, i forgot to tell my headfi brothers and sisters that i acquired a pair this week.

I think I'm probably gonna go ahead and get the PX100s, they look pretty good all around.

Good plan, they sound and look really good, and the fold-up design is really convenient.
