Hi guys!
 
I did see some other threads on this topic but they weren't what I was exactly looking for. 
So I'm looking for some on ear or over year headphones at a price around $100 that I can get to Canada. A headphone with a flat frequency graph would be great because I listen to different kinds of music. A bit of bass wouldn't hurt though.
 
I was looking at the ATH-ES7s by Audio Technica but they are discontinued. I saw some from the eBay seller patrickandjay.

All the people who have bought these have said that they are authentic. But I still am sceptical because they come from eBay. They do look great. Something that is close to their design would be awesome. Specifically something that has metal drums. 
 
I use an iPhone 4 to listen to music and rarely connect the headphones to a computer. So it's ok if you ignore the computer when you are suggesting what I should buy. 
 
My max price point is $110 without shipping. Please don't suggest earbuds or in ear headphones. 
These will be my first headphones that are quite expensive. So I hope you guys help me out.
 
Thanks a lot. This will be a huge help.

You can give the Shure SRH440s a try. I've seen them for under a hundred at most online retailers. The only thing is that it has a long curly cord. I've used it with an iphone without an amp and it was driven fine.

mostly R&B, pop, a lot of dance. I don't listen to it would be heavymetal hard rock and country. What does Celine Dion's - I drove all night fall into? I guess that's pop. I listen to that type of music as well. 
 
If Smallville can tell me who that member is it would be great. I'd like to ask him about them. 
 
Thanks a lot for the help guys!

Those look fine but that cord might be a real pain in the neck. Thanks though. I'd definitely look into it if I don't get any other better choices.

There was a member on here who has bought from that seller on eBay and he confirms that he is selling real ES7s. So you can order from him without worry.

The Sennheiser HD 448s look amazing. How do they sound? I might consider those. They are 99 in amazon which is good.

I would value your advise not only because your a more senior member of the community but you also have a picture of Legalos who is pretty smart. (or is it just me?) 
I said my musical preferences above so if you can give me some more choices that would be great.

From Jan 31 - Feb 14, Creative Aurvana live are at ~$70 using coupon VALTINES. Shipping is using Amazon, so I think is quite a good deal :)
