I'm having trouble finding a pair of portable-use headphones that isolate well for <$50. Right now I'm using a pair of Senn HD 280 Pros. I'm satisfied with their sound out of my ChromeX, but I'd like to find something a little less bulky. I've considered the following...
Audio-Technica ATH-R5: just got these in from Audio Cubes, but my head is too big.
Koss KSC-35/PortaPro/SportaPro: open and not enough isolation
Sennheiser MX-400/500: not enough isolation
Sennheiser PX-200: if they're anything like the HD 25sp's (small supraural earcups), they'll drive my ears/earrings crazy
Etymotics: too expensive
Any advice?
