I want a good pair of headphones to listen to music on my computer and mobile/iPod . I dont want it too be bulky so I can take it outside with me. Most importantly I want it to have clear vocals and nice bass (not too much) and no music leakage. I want these headphones to listen to Trance, Progressive Trance, Vocal Trance. But I want the vocals to sound very nice. They have to be comfortable and dont hurt your ears . I dont want to use batteries, Please recommend some headphones for me. I want it to be durable and solid so It doesnt break,  I want the best mids ( low mid and high) The most important but still some bass

I would buy a pair of Beyer dt770/80. They are the most comfortable hp that I can recall, great build quality and are easily drive. They also isolate pretty well.
 
gL!!

Hey, for $30 shipped you can have the panasonic htf-600. It's smaller, drives easy and has nice sound. Maybe not the most durable but for $30 you don't have much to loose.

I would get the Audio Technica ws55 i have them and they are awesome,they cost like 70 $ it's perfect for your needs...not too big,good mids and highs and good bass they have double airchamber for the bass,so that the rest still sounds clear.

Sennheiser HD25-1 fits most of what you're looking for


The HD25 fits the sound sig that the OP is looking for and is quite durable (and if you manage to break it, you can replace a lot of the parts through Sennheiser), although the one drawback is that I find that the clamping force is a bit strong. Plus, it is supraaural, if that makes any difference to the OP.

Also consider the 780's

 
What are the difference between those two? I saw that they cost the same money and one has a coiled cable (amirite?) and one doesn't?

I'd like to suggest the Philips Citiscape Uptown headphones. Super comfortable, nice mids, and bass that doesn't cover up any of the other sounds, but has a good quantity. Plus, I think they look great! Philips has made them with "music seal" technology, it's supposed to prevent noise leakage, and it does a really good job of it too!

The 580s have more bass than the 780s but the 780s have a better quality bass. I personally prefer the 780s over the 580s as they have good bass but better mids.

As far as cables go, the 780's have a stock 1m straight cord that comes with a 3m extension and a snap on 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.
The 580's comes stock with a 3m cables and a screw on 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.
