There was a craze a while back for them, but I didn't like them one bit. Sounded like MDR-V6 without the nice range
 
I would say M50's, but then there are these

Ha! I was just going to link that. 
There are also a few Superlux models to check out at least.
The 662 ( 3 versions of them ) and 669 are closed.

BUT I can't recall Superlux performance with no amp there should be a post there somewhere or ask.  Thats something to definitely consider with your purchase, the easy to drive headphones. Don't want to be disappointed after all the research then find out when you actually have them they don't fit well out of the ipod due to that factor.
 
the ~$20 monoprice Kicker clones are hard to argue with for the price, especially with wanting to save for schooling.
 
both brands will save you some $
