People,
This guy's new to the headphone scene and looking for a good entry level can.  Let's leave off the discussion of after market cables and stick to the original request.
Thanks,

Two headphones come to mind that might meet your needs.  They're both well regarded by many and I feel they both sound great for their respective price points.  The Audio Technica ATH-M50 and the Denon AH-D1100

X2 on the M50's.

Both are good headphones, but if you decide to go the Denon AH D1100 route, pm me. I've got a pair, like new, with original packaging and all accessories.
