God, it's been ages since I've been here. Managed to kick the gear bug for quite some time though. I'm currently running two setups- TripleFi 10s through a Schiit Modi+Magni at home, and Klipsch Image S4s on my phone on the go. I'm looking to get a pair of full size headphones. They'll likely see use both at home and away-I don't want them to be super noise isolating, enough that I can focus on the music but as much as my in-ear earphones. When I need real isolation, that's when the earbuds will come out. So I'd like something that would work well with my DAC+amp but that will work with my phone. Actually, I still have my FiiO amp, so if it needs a bit of extra juice I can use that on the go. Looking at ATH-M50 right now, is that still the way to go, or is there something better on the scene? Budget is certainly sub-$200, and I really don't want to clear $150 right now. $100 would be great but probably unfeasible.
 
 
Thanks for any help in advance, guys.

The M50X is the new and somewhat improved version.
 
What sound signature do you prefer?

Something that works all around. I like the TF10s, but a tad more bass wouldn't be a bad thing. I listen to everything from heavy metal to acoustic guitar hipster music, so it needs to be versatile.

M50x, it has replaceable cables now and comes with 3 of them. And also more comfortable than the originals. Given your budget, it's hard to beat

With the MT220 no longer available within your price range, I'll stick with the M50X (absent a closeout on something up line).

Since you would like to stick to $100 if you can, check out the AKG K545. Harman has recertified pairs for $100 shipped. Read the reviews on Head-Fi: http://www.head-fi.org/products/akg-k545-portable-over-ear-headphone
