Something around the 100 ~ 150 range? I'm in australia so prices vary. I'd like something... noticeably better than the PX100s, maybe something brighter, since these sound very dark to my ears, and almost uninvolving at times
Are the prices you gave Austrailian or US dollars? Going by the selection at Headphonic (an Austrailian Hi-Fi Headphones online store) you won't get much in the 100-150 AUD price range that will beat the PX100. The Allesandro MS-1 and Audio Technica A500 seem like your best bets. And maybe the Beyerdynamic DT231 as well.
Just from what I've read both are very easy to drive, and will sound good. The MS-1 has a somewhat flattened soundstage, especially with the flat pads (a highly reccomended upgrade). It is very in your face and fun, though not as much as Grados (the MS-1 is a slightly tweaked Grado SR-125). It is also very open, and will leak a lot of sound as well as let everything around you in. The A500 is suppost to have a very nice soundstage and be more natural sounding and more laid back, though it isn't portable at all. It is also closed too. I haven't heard either, but this is what I gather from other posts.
