Hello, I'm currently looking for some headphones for every day use and on the go.
 
I'll use the headphones mostly for my iPod while travellig by train/bus and while I'm working on my laptop. So a small/normal size cable and small/normal size on or over ear cups without sound leakage would be a big plus.
 
Here are a few examples of headphones which I liked ( style )
 
AKG K430-450
AKG K619.
Urbanears:Zinken.
Urbanears:platten.
 
The Reviews of the Urbanears aren't very good, especially when it comes to Rock music, but I do dig the clean simplistic style. ( less flashy = better )
 
I hoping you guys have some suggestions for a nice pair of everyday headphones since I do not know very much about headphones to begin with.
Price range: 50-120 Euro's.
Music: mostly Classic/modern Rock/metal.

A metaler need a black headphone, so I suggest the tech looking and good sounding Sennheiser 25-1-MKII.

A bit higher than your budget, but an investment for the ages. Used by pros everywhere.

Agreed - also you can sometimes get them used for as little as half the RRP, so it's not a bad idea at all.

+1 on the Sennheiser HD23 1ii.
Even more stylish IMO is its newer incarnation the Senn Amperior.
The V Moda M80 is a sharp looking, good sounding set as well
at a lower price point (than the Amperior).

Or wait 4 days and get the brand new senn 26 Pro. I've heard it for 10 tracks and directly compared it to the 25s. I feel they are a refined and "expensive" looking upgrade to the 25s, they sound slightly cleaner and have a bit more highs than the 25s.

Do you know which retailers will have them available for sale in 4 days?

What about the Sennheiser PX and MM series ? such as the PX 210 BT , MM 400, PXC 360 BT ?
they are more expensive, but are they any good ? As for the Sennheiser HD 26's , can you clamp those two headbands together ? ( I prefer 1 headband )and what about those AKG's i've mentioned ? The AKG K619 and K430?
