Currently I'm doing most of my listening with my Yuin Pk3s which were also recommended by you kind folks here at Head-fi. I couldn't be happier with the PK3s, they sound wonderful during long boring lectures at school and great for studying in the library.
Since the PK3s were so nice, I decided to invest a little more on a new pair of cans by setting a new budget at $100.
Currently I'm looking at the Audio Technica ATH-ES7 and the Grado SR-80s since it seems those are popular here. I primarily listen to a lot of Cpop (Chinese pop) which is comprised of mostly love songs and pop ballads. What I'm looking for in a pair of headphones is good reproduction of the singers' voices and clarity in the instruments in the background. Good bass is also important, but I definitely don't want something that is bass heavy. The primary focus should be the singing, so I don't want big boomy bass overshadowing the singing. A nice tight bass would be good.
Anyways, I hope ppl can make me another good recommendation again.
BTW: I currently don't own an amp, so I would prefer the recommendations to be for headphones that sound good without reliance on an amp. I would buy an amp if I could, but currently that is out of this poor college student's budget. Also, style is definitely a plus.
