Hi I'm looking for headphones that go with kpop. The headphones will be used on the train and walking around outside. My playing device is my handphone(lg viewty smart). I have a $150(singapore dollars) budget. The type of headphones i'm looking for are over ear and offer some isolation against outside noise. I have visited a shop and they recommended me the ath xs-5. I have also read online that the grado sr80i is a good choice. Can anyone tell me about these two headphones as well as recommend me others? Thanks!

If you want headphones that isolate, you shouldn't pick the Grado, because they're open headphones. They'd allow sound out/ in. I would suggest the M50's with kpop. It's currently what i'm using
It's a bit bulky though to be portable. You might want to try ATH-Es7, though i'm not sure about them that much
i can't say anything on the ath xs-5 because i've never heard of them

Thanks for the reply Is there any headphones I can get that have oval/rectangle-ish cups?

since you are travelling with it, why not get IEMs?

dragnix: you seem to have abandoned your other thread where you're asking the exact same question.
I went to Jaben earlier today, and have confirmed that the ATH-XS5 is S$99. The XS7 is the same price. What's the difference? The headband: 5 is worn over the head, 7 is worn behind the neck.
 
Also, they told me about these bundles, which are valid for tomorrow (10 Dec) only: http://jaben.net/forums/index.php?topic=17731.0
