Well, i had Sennheiser hd 203 for a while now and they were superb, I'm looking to upgrade them now, but  im sticking with Sennheiser after experiencing the hd 203s. I'd like to know what head phones by Sennheiser for under or around 250$ are the best. Its okay if you go over a little, but I'm looking for just good sound quality, and an over the ear headphone. Thanks

What source(s) are you going to be plugging the headphones into?

For a closed can that's a bit on the bassy side, can be driven by an iPod, and is suitable for most modern genres, the HD-25 I II is a common option. If you have different musical tastes, don't mind amping, or don't mind something open, there's a world of options in the HD 5xx series.
