Which headphones should I buy?

Basically, I'm a complete beginner and I need headphones with these specifications :

  • Under £50 though I could probably stretch to £100
  • On-ear
  • Comfortable
  • Minimum sound leakage
  • Good looking

I know it's a lot to ask for for my price range but I just want to buy the best for what I can afford. I listen to rock and music with heavy bass.

Some of the one's I've seen - Klipsh Image S4 - Sennheiser PX 100-ii - UrbanEars Plattan -Soundmagic E10 ( even though it's in ear)

Sounds like the Sony mdr-xb500 would work great xP

XB500 is over-ears not on-ears.

 

AKG K-450 (from reviews) seem very good for the price.

I forgot to mention that I need the headphones to be portable because I travel for over 2 hours a day :)

Well if you're willing to go over ear rather than on ear I'd recommend the xb500s
I always used my xb500s outside =]

I think I saw the xb500's on a show, apparently they feel like cushions but they just don't seem portable :)
