Hello everybody.
How are you doing?![Headphone Smile :) :)](https://cdn.head-fi.org/e/headfi/smily_headphones1.gif)
I'll create a new thread again. I said 'again', because I made another one before some time ago. I am not writing there with my new updates, because now the situation is a little bit different. OK, here is the other thread -> http://www.head-fi.org/t/721740/looking-for-the-best-deal-up-to-50-60-headphones. The difference this time - I have more money than before - everything up to $100 is OK (I prefer them to be up to $85, but if there is something remarkable about it's value (like V-Moda ...), it wouldn't be a problem). Now, I'll tell you more about me and my music preferences.
I am listening to a lot of music styles, but right now mostly to electronic (techno, house, DJ mixes, ...). So, the powerful, high-quality and punchy bass is one of the most important things for me. I am not a bass head or addicted to the powerful bass, so the bass is not the only requirement. Also, I want a good, clear and notable sound quality.
I don't mind whether the headphones will be on my ear or over it, just not to be earphones. To be honest - a good friend of mine recommended me, my future cans to be over my ear, because like this the sound will be more clear and they'll noise cancelled. I don't have enough experience at all and I don't need them to be noise cancellng, but I guess - it will be a plus, isn't it?
I guess something important - I'll use my headphones only with my phone (Nokia Lumia 820) and my PC (laptop, Toshiba, if it matters).
I don't mind about brands, but I prefer the cans to be comfortable for use and not to make my ears sweat. Also, I am not going to use them for very long periods of time (if this is important to say) ...
I don't mind about the material of which they are made, but I would prefer as much as less plastic, because a lot of plastic material makes me feel uncomfortable.
Something important - if anyone knows some other websites with good (or better, as well) prices than Amazon & Ebay (also, which I can trust), please, share them (I live now in NYC, if this matters)!

Sorry for my long thread, with so many requirements & links & colors & information, I hope everything is understandable and clear. If there are some question - please, respond for more information. Also, if you know some other models, better than these, tested and who pass my musical requirements, please, be free to share them, not only to review the current suggestions, which I've put.
Thank you very much for your future support, for you time spend and mostly - for your qualified experience & opinion!
All the best,
THAIS aka Martin.
