I read the last few pages of this thread but the prices tend to be higher than what I'm looking for right now. Any suggestions though? Thanks!
You really can't go wrong with the M50s. They're the best headphone of any type under $200, IMO.

Check out the reviews at head-fi. You would be hard-pressed to find another community as knowledgeable about headphones as this one, and the M50s are an all-time favorite over there: http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-m50s

My iPhone drives them perfectly fine at around 80% volume. At my desk I use a Fiio E7 for an extra boost (and it sounds great) but I would disagree that they "need power".
