Hello Head-Fi! I'm here asking for your guy's help. So I've done some extensive research on headphones below 200$ here and there and really cannot decide what to get.
I'm sure you guys will need some of my info to help me so, 
 
: I listen to almost all genres of music
: I have a fairly small head
: I want my headphones to be semi-portable
: I want my headphones to have minimal leakage ( I don't care about isolation )
: I will not be buying an amp
 
I've been thinking about these headphones....
 
Audio Technica ATH-M50
V-Moda M-80
Philips Citiscape Uptown
Ultrasone HFI-780/580
Fostex T50rp ( will mod )
 
Feel free to leave recommendations and tell me which one I should get, thanks !

Tell us what kind of you want. All of those headphones have a unique sound, and it'd be hard for me to tell you what you will like.
M50: Slight emphasis on bass and treble. Decent portability, little leakage
M-80: Emphasis on bass. Good portability, little leakage
T50RP: Rather flat with emphasis on mids. Poor portability, good amount of leakage.
That's all I know as of now.
