looking to spend more than 40$ for a pair of phones, if i get 100$ phones and an amp what would you guys recommend?

for all intents and purposes just treat this thread as a, i want good headphones for listening thread. i know i should wear a helmet, but i dont.

would a new ipod nano preform better than a zune?

those would be great im sure, but im looking to amp it if possible.

full size headphone, open or closed cans, the ambient noise is never to bad, preferably with an amp. while the 300 dollars is not jsut for headphones. i would preferably spend like 100 - 150 for the phones, just incase you i get pushed or bumped by my friends, i dont want 300 dollars headphones...

yeah, i googled it and got a pentax camera, so i dove a little further and found the akgs, either way, not everyone wants to hear what im listening too... also that would be a big negative on those koss phones, i like to hear my music un-muddled thank you
