[size=10pt][size=10pt]Hello head-fi this will be my first post on this site and I have a question for the community. I wanted to get your opinions on what would be the best 150 dollar or less cans. I am looking for cans that I can listen to a wide range of music with, everything from the occasional rock to orchestra /[/size][size=small] [/size][size=10pt]instrumentals with. I am also looking for noise isolation in these can, eventually I will buy an open back pair / amp to get want I really want but for now these are for everyday use I listen to music everywhere I go basically. They need to work with an iPod or be able to purchase an adaptor with the headphones in the 150 dollar price range. I like to be able to hear the true unity of the sound of each song but to be able to pick out the nuances of the music as well. I know this statement leaves us at an impasse but I was wonder if you gays/gals could help me out. Thanks in advance for your time reading this post and for your help and input.[/size][/size]

You should just get a cheap amp first..it's not the end of the world like some people think and it can cost only $25 for say an E5. It's small and easy to carry around.
 
You can then use the best headphone I've found that's closed and under $150..
 
I use the Koss Pro DJ 100 and I prefer it to everything else I've tried. It's only $80! This includes the SRH-840, M50, HFI-680, ESW9a, SRH-440 and lots of others.
 
Basically even when comparing it to open headphones (under $200) the only thing I like as much (almost) is the HD-598 and AKG K240 Studio.

get a JDS labs BB Cmoy and the pro DJ as suggested. I think the cmoy is quite a bit better than a fiio E5.
