Hey guys, I need help finding some budget headphones for outside use. Im mainly going to be using them in the car or airplane,etc.Im looking to get the most out of my money.

Music I listen to, from most to least: Trance (Electronic), Chillout Music, Rap, Rock, Classical, etc.

Here are the headphones I'm interested in buying:

-Sony MDR-ZX100 http://www.amazon.com/MDR-ZX100-Headphone-Stereo-Black-Mini-phone/dp/B004RKQM74/ref=pd_cp_e_1  Theres also the ZX300s (Red Color) for almost the same price.

-Sennheiser HD 202 http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-202-II-Professional/dp/B003LPTAYI/ref=sr_1_3?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1326780666&sr=1-3

-JVC HA-RX500 http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HARX500-Over-the-Ear-Headphones/dp/B000NV0SG2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326780726&sr=1-1

If you guys have any other recommedations in this price range ($20), please let me know.
I can bump my budget upto $35, but no more than that, since I will be buying the Shure 440s later on.

Just letting you know right off the bat, the MDR-ZX100 is crap. They're worse than the MDR-V150 I'm afraid, which is what the MDR-ZX100 replace. For headphones around the 20 dollar range, I recommend the JVC HA-160 (Flats). They rest on your ears. If you don't mind that type of design and fit, they sound excellent for the price. I've yet to hear anything in the price range that sounds better. I haven't tried the over the ear series from JVC. I'd give them a try since their smaller headphones are great.
