A few of the best headphones I've heard under $150, in alphabetical order:
Audio-Technica ATH-M40x
Koss KSC75
Koss KTXPRO1 (I still use this one. Costs $10 and sounds like a $300 headphone! Insanely good with metal too.)
Koss UR40
Philips SHP9500
Sony MDR-7506 (Only with EQ to make it stop being bright and harsh. Sonarworks works wonders.)
STAX SR-30 (Easily the best sound, but it's from 1982, so you have to get it used along with the exotic amplification, and it's not comfortable.)
Yamaha HPH-MT220 (Was $150 at one point, but you have to get it used for that price now. Has both strong bass impact and good clarity.)

Our forthcoming album “Verity” will contain “Lira”, a cover version of song by one of the oldest and worthiest Ukrainian rock bands KOMU VNYZ.

Thanks Alchemist-great thoughts as usual. I was thinking the HD600/650 and HE400i would be obvious choices. And, good point, for a lot of kids that would be high end. But maybe the Fulla2 and something in the $100-150 range. And, then so many kids just want to listen to IEMs on the go.My daughter likes her new wireless Beats. I lost that battle-haha!
