At $100 I would look at AKG K240S or Grado SR-80. I keep HD570 only for the comfort, which I enjoy when watching movies or playing games for a lenghy amount of time. They get no use for music. BTW I payed $45 for mine.
For music I prefer Koss Porta-pro ($40), Grado SR-60 ($60), Senn HD497, and Philips HP170 ($20) over the HD570. So yes there are plenty of $50 headphones that sound better than HD570. You won't get the same comfort at that price, but is the comfort worth that much more money?
