just some ideas:

highly popular beginner audiophile pick,
balanced, closed (blocks noise somewhat,stops sound from leaking out and bothering people), comfortable
~80-100 CAD

---> sony mdr v6







sound great, portable (they fold up like sunglasses ... COOl)
very comfortable
~50-70 CAD

---> sennheiser px100






cheapo, portable clip-ons
best sound at approx. 20-30 CAD
these frequently match headphones up to maybe 3 times their price

---> koss ksc75






highly detailed, balanced, super portable, extremely isolating (blocks noise just like that)
shove these deep into ear to seal so comfort might be an issue, might want to try before buy

---> altec lansing im716

---> etymotic er6i

~100-130 CAD





btw, buying this sorta stuff in canada sucks really badly
prices are jacked up like .....way up
and shipping/customs duty/brokerage fees/tax really sucks if you try to get stuff shipped in from a states retailer

ncix.com might have some stuff youre interested in at okay prices

but ....the secret is ....use amazon.com, and get relatives or friends in the states to send/bring it to you

otherwise its crap prices from local retailers

but i guess theres always ebay

check out head-fi.org for info treasure pot, great community, and buy/sell


no full-sized cans, because i dont believe in their inherent impracticality :P

especially at this price point

though supposedly, the hd280pro are supposed to be good phones for the price
