I can't stand using earbuds, and I'm lookin for some small cans that sound great ampless noise cancel fairly well, and doesn't let sound out. Can anyone help me out with this? As long as it sounds decent thats fine with me, and I use an ipod.

around a $100 maybe a little more. My music is generally EDM or electronic music and rock, but mostly EDM.

the hd25s seem a lil lean on bass from what i've read...

big cans and not foldable but super sound sig (from what i've read

HD25 NOT lean on bass! I have/had pairs built with three variations of the elements (70, 300, and 600 ohm) and also created a hybrid..........the std HD25-1 double headband is too snug for me, but that can be cured by the judicious application of heat from a common hairdryer.

Audio Technica ES-7...Was nice when I travelled with it, not amazing with isolation though.

Try looking into the ATH-PRO700.
Not much written about it here, but after spending time with a pair I'm really starting to dig them. Not good for walking (top heavy), but bus, train & planerides works great.

They ARE foldable, just not in the traditional sense.
