I would like to find a pair of folding, lightweight, over-ear headphones for around $100.
 
Priorities would be:
  1. Lightweight and folding
  2. Good bass
  3. Decent isolation
  4. Not too large or bulky
  5. Around $100
 
Based on other Head-Fi posts, I have narrowed it down to the Sony MDR-V6 ($75) or Audio-Technica ATH-M50 ($160).  The ATH-M50s are really more than I want to spend and Amazon doesn't seem to have them with a straight cord.
 
I have Bose QuietComfort headphones, which I love but are heavy and bulky to carry around all the time - so I have been trying a pair of Etymotic MC5 for the last month.  I am happy with the sound (wish they had more bass) but they are uncomfortable in my ears, even with a variety of Comply tips that I have tried.  I am hoping to find a pair of headphones with great sound but smaller and lighter than my Bose.
 
Thanks!
