I'm not too good with ebay, folks
 
I think I just might jump on the ones from Beach Camera.. although they don't take PayPal and I'm only a 18 university student so there goes my chances of getting a credit card :/
 
EDIT: Beach Camera only ships to the States. Anybody got a cheap pair in Canada? :/

Where are you in Canada?

Alas, good prices on headphones in Canada are limited to a handful of brands, and AT isn't one of them.
 
Best recommendation:  Be patient, find a few models you are interested in, and keep an eye on the used forums.  Always some great deals to be had on there.

In my experience, the best way to get ATs reliably for the best price in Canada is to either go overseas and buy it, or Ebay from an Japanese exporter. You just have to be very careful about it to know what is a fake - though the newest AT offerings usually are free from this plague early on.

There's a place in Vancouver called "The Sound Room", I believe they carry Audio Technicas; however you may have to get them to special order the headphones for you.

Wouldn't get the Grados if you're going to be out in public or around other people.

The JVCHas700 should be added to this list

How about JVC HA-RX700's? They look OK!

The sound is amazing, but they are too bulky...mainly for home listening.

The Shure SRH440 are too bulky as well and should be used at home.

I think they are ok, not as bulky as the Jvc's...i have seen guys on the streets wearing them.

The SRH840's should be here as well!

Wow if you can get a pair of 840s for under 100$....that should be priority one lol
 
however, I would look into the following 
 
JVChas700
Senn Hd485/555
Shure 750dj used
ATH m50/ES7
 
you cant go wrong with any of them, good luck!

Some of the higher end skullcandy cans are probably worth mentioning for under $100. Remember that the OP wants portability + looks, and skullcandy doesn't sound as terrible as many on this forum make them out to be.
