I've been looking for a new pair of phones lately, and price is an important factor. I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck for under a hundred bucks. And after searching amazon, head-fi, and other forums and stores, i've come across two headphones that look like they would suit my needs- the superlux 668b, and the ad-700s. I want a pair for music (with favorite bands being ben folds, led zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the beatles, and a variety of jazz and classical thrown in the mix) as well as gaming. I'm looking for sound quality on par or around the level of a grado sr60i, my current headphones, though those are too uncomfortable for me in long bursts of listening. Another thing I want to make clear is that I would like something that doesn't need an amp or a dedicated sound card. Any other suggestions are much appreciated, along with any insight on the matter. Thanks.

No amp or sound card, not even even an Asus Xonar DG sound card ($25).
