cool, i saw the airhead uses AAA batteries? that will be a disadvantage as i think rechargeable batteries are way more convenient and popular too.

 
There are rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries.

My suggestion is maybe get the original modded t50rp fostex called mad dogs. The originals are 260 and you can get a fiio e11 which is a very good little 50 dollar amp that you could hook up to ipod/iphone via LOD. This would offer a very good balanced or neutral response. 
 
For a little more of a suggestion try out this thread for a set of headphones:

after that if you think you need a amp I would suggest the e11
 
If you want dac and amp in one then the e7/e17
 
 
mix and match to meet the 300 price range and you should be good.

agree, with the srh940s beeing great phones, but they are not portable at all.

I would really consider the ath-es700 by audio technica. Really sleek and good sound. Sennheiser momentum are also great I hear but don't have much swivel action that you might want in a portable.
