I use Sonys MDR-XD200 for everything I do, walking, gaming, etc. I listen to Trance/Euro/Techno mostly and I'm looking to upgrade them.
 
I do novice mixing when I get the time and prefer the full-size headphones over others.
 
My budget is to $200 and I'm looking for something with a little more portability and more bass.

I was just looking around on this site and many others for reference, how are the Sennheiser HD228s for techno-sorts of music?

Have you considered some of the portable cans from Audio Technica?
 
EDIT - oh...and welcome to head-fi!

 

[Nargoz]

Haha thanks, I hadn't considered any of the ones from Audio Technica, but do you have anything in mind that might fulfill my music needs?

 

[winma]

Maybe the M50's. 

 

[Equus]

You're welcome!
 
You'll almost definitely get folks suggesting the M50...they're pretty popular, and well within your budget.  Nicely portable too.
 
EDIT - hahaha...too late for the inb4 M50!

M50 are portable and they get great reviews

 

[Nargoz]

Alright, sounds like I need to track them down then! Thanks a lot!

 

[Equus]

Yup...check out some of the impressions and reviews on them...see if they'll fit your bill.  Good luck and enjoy your stay!

I have the M50s. They will do trance and music with emphasis on treble and bass extremely well for the price (it's listed at $200, but honestly nobody sells them at that price. I bought mine in NYC for $113). The mids are nothing special, however they are still very good and will make listening to any music highly enjoyable. They come with a carrying case, so they are quite portable. They also fold up nicely.

Try the HD-25ll.

When portability and durability is needed hd 25 1 is strong contender , but you can check new 'phone which looks like updated hd 25 and its called AIAIAI TMA-1
