Hi Everyone!!
 
So. My situation: Bought my first pair of "non supermarket brand" headphones being the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's and thought they were quite good (after days of burn in of course). Thought i would bring them along on my daily commute to college and while I loved the noise attenuation, they were just way too damn big and bulky.
 
So now I'm looking for a decent pair of smaller headphones (not IEMs). I need something portable with decent isolation, comfort, looks, is fairly cheap and of course good sound quality. Something that suits Rock, Alternative, Folk, Acoustic, Post-Hardcore, Metal etc. Yes, I have looked into the "ULTIMATE PORTABLE" in the HD 25 1-II's, but for a college student like me they just cost too damn much and I need a pair that if i lose it won't matter much.
 
The thing is, i find a good pair i like but then after more research a big flaw is pointed out and sways my decision. So far what I've favoured are:
 
Shure SRH240
HD 205
HD 201
HD 228
HD 202
 
(i know...alot of senns in there)
 
HELP.

 
Thanks in advance!

Why not just get something fun and a little less refined for now and get the nicer stuff when you can more easily afford it?
 
My vote goes to the Coby CV-185's... $10 Fun, punchy bass and should suit your musical tastes just fine.
