Need Recommendation for Sennheiser PX-100-II Replacement

[furunomoe]

Hello,

Long story short, my old and trusty PX-100-II just broke last week, and now I'm currently looking for a replacement. However, that PX-100-II is actually the first "real" headphone that I bought, so I'm still very new to this audio stuffs, altough I do like music very much. So please bear with me for a while.

Basically, my budget is around $100 (preferably lower than that), and being living in a South East Asia country, my choice of headphones is not very wide. After doing some kind of research, I've resorted to the following choices, sorted according the price available in my country :

1. Koss KSC-75,
2. Superlux HD 668B,
3. Yuin G2A,
4. Sennheiser PX-100-II (yet another),
5. Grado SR60i,
6. Sony MDR-XB300,
7. Sennheiser PX-200-II, and
8. Sennheiser HD 448

 
Well, kinda broad choices, isn't it? That's why I'm confused here, unlike computer parts, their benchmark graphs is very confusing, as they said that higher/lower isn't always better, so please lend me some of your wisdom
 
My requirement is not much, I just need a good sounding headphone (IEM and earplug isn't too comfortable for me), that's portable (I really like the folding features of PX series) for use in commute and office. I usually listen to wide range of music, and I'm not much of a basshead or treble freak, I always set my equalizer flat, I like my music to sound exactly like what it is.
 
The Grado SR60i is probably the one that I have most interest of (they look very cool, and seems to have a great sounds too), but I'm kind of concerned about the amount of sound leaks (my office cublicle is pretty quiet).
 
So, can you give me some advice or recommendations? Oh, and here's list of headphone that's available in my country :

I own a Grado SR80i which is a fine open headphone provided their is not too much external sound , I've owned a Sennheiser PX-100 until it broke I'm currently listen with the Yuins G2a ( head band mod) for a low profile out and about headphone the G2a sound great .More balanced than the PX100, though not as lush a sound as the Larger Grado SR80i's .

G2a are well balanced so should suit your  listen requirements .The Grado's do have alot more sound leak than the Yuin G2a as the Grado Drivers are fixed in a Tube that leaks allot of sound out of the back of the headphones .

I see, thanks for the suggestions.

Since looking at the charts at headroom, I put G2A on my list because it seems to has a similar frequency response to my PX-100-II (albeit maybe with slightly less bass and more treble). And your suggestion is reassuring.

Too bad I have to put the Grado out of my list, sound leaks in my office would be bad :|

More suggestion is always welcome.
