Hi,
I am looking for to improve my portable listening expirience.
I initialy bought the senn's px100, and while I am very pleased with the sound, I find them absolutely useless outside - the isolation is non-existent.
 
That is the primary reason I got my brainwavz m1 in ears - to get isolation from the noise ouside and get a somewhat decent SQ.
 
I am looking for a closed portable to get a better SQ than the M1 while keeping the outside noise where it belongs - outside. I do no consider my self a "basshead", but I love the punch of a good tight controlled bass.
 
I am leaning towards the AKG k518dj, which are about a 100$ where I live.
Are there better cans in that price range (100$ tops - no hd25-II please ) I shall consider before buying?
 
Any other thoughts on how can I improve the SQ of my portable (ipod touch 2g, Apple Losseles, LOD - Fiio e5) the price mentioned (100$)?
 
 
Thanks guys!

audio technica ath-m50.  Can be found for $100 when there are deals about, otherwise $120 on amazon.

Thank you for the advice - I've read great reviews about the m50.
However their price in my country is almost 250$ (don't ask me why).
And ordering them from amazon incl. shipping and vat. will be almost 200$.
 
Any other great headphones for 100$?

Denon DN-HP700, if you look in the Fullsize forum I have put a review of them. A VERY NICE headphone for $100.
