Tell me your opinion

Are you willing to buy through an online retailer or does it have to be a physical retailer?

Grado SR80i
In this category, these are fantastic. They have good clarity and soundstage for the price point. But they are not for everyone, they are pretty bright (emphasis on highs).

Ya ive heard that the sr80i are really bright and that is not my thing i've been looking at the akg k121 and online retaler is good

If you are liking AKG, I'd reccomend the K240 over the K121. Better, and actually cheaper on Amazon.

Personally, I've always felt that AKG headphones lack clarity in comparison to other headphones in their price range. Just my two cents.

Your best bet is to to read the reviews on this website, and figure out which sounds most appealing to you.

But I'd check out the offerings from Shure and Sony in this price range.

I haven't heard these... so technically I'm not supposed to recommend them, but the Philips SHP9500 has been getting some attention lately. Their price has dropped to around $80 in the US.

i did really like my Sennheiser HD239. Great ballanced and bright sound

Try the Takstar HI2050. I'll let you do the job of searching it

I would recommend the Shure SRH 440. The sound is relatively well balanced with extra emphasis on the mid range, great for vocals and guitars! The Grado's sound really good too, but if they're bright they might not be your thing. (Be warned, some SRH440's can be bright, so it's kind of a gamble) The AKG K142 HD is on sale for a great price! You should really consider these cans O.o

Yes. They are bit heavy on the upper bass, which provides a fun sound for hard rock and metal music. Drums and the bass guitar will really shine on these headphones.
 
When I say "bass-heavy," don't think like Beats, the AKG K240 are much better and more tame, I just want you to know that they are not neutral.

sounds good
