Just wondering what options are out there besides the obvious px100 and portapros. I've been researching IEMs and landed on the RE0s and loved them but as far as sound sig. goes I have an open mind for these. I'm definitely not a basshead. preferably something that is somewhat easy to drive. I'd like to resist the temptation of an amp. I listen to a lot of different stuff rock, jazz, folk, etc. My sources are the fuze, Ia7, and a macbook.

I was looking at the G2A, Nuforce UF-30, and Sennheiser HD238. I wouldn't mind seeing if there are any other options out there too.

Any ideas, or suggestions?

forgot to mention I wouldn't care if it is open or closed headphone.

Great, thanks! I am looking for something slightly "portable" and I have some sr80s I use at the home. However, I'm keeping an open mind on this one so I'll keep those in mind also.

Audio-Technica ES7s are pretty nice and under $100.

Ultrasone Zino (very sexy, clean sound, tight bass)
AKG K 450 (very comfortable, muffled sound)

Great suggestions, I'm especially interested in the zinos and ES7s.

Dang, looks like the c-jays have gone down in price too.

I wouldn't wear the ad700 portable or the ms1. They're full sized and people would think you were a Cyberman if you walked around with those on your head without tripping on the cables. The MS1 would also come off your head rather easily.

There is the Grado portable headphone, the IGrado. Warm sounding although I personally prefer the PX100. I think that Sennheiser also make a 'round the neck' headphone similar to the IGrado.

Audio Technica ES7 or Denon AH-D1001 hands down. These are designed to be portable headphones while offering excellent SQ.

ath-m50, ad700, and ms-1s are all full sized. Some of these are quite massive actually...

BTW, if you like the Grado sound, I think you'll REALLY like the ES7 sound, I recently did a comparison between es7 vs grado sr125i and posted the results in a thread here:
