Cool, in this case you are good to go. You should be able to find something you like.

Are you concerned with things like isolation and sound leakage? Spacious soundstage is usually found on open headphones. If the sound leakage is not a problem try some Grados. SR-80 fit your budget and their soundstaging is not at all bad for a 100 USD pair of phones. They don't fold but the earpieces rotate to make them flat, so they take little space in the bag.

blr - Not worried about isolation or leakage, so open cans are certainly up for consideration.

Thanks for all the replies so far everyone.

Don't get the PX200, bad seperation and nonexistant soundstage. Still good and fun sounding phones though.

Probably because of the non-existant soundstage and mediocre imaging.

I would also not recommend the Grados in your price range for soundstaging.

If you can strech your budget, the Audio Technica CM7 has OK soundstage.
