Default Headphones - recommendations

So I'm looking to get a good pair of headphones at a more reasonable price (ie. $150) and was wondering if any audio experts could point me in the right direction.

Here are some that I've come across ... http://www.headphonereviews.org/recommendations.php

thanks

I'm no expert but have 2 sets of headphones that I absolutely love, my first pair is Sennheiser PX 100 (around $45), and my other pair is actually just in ear headphone, I got them from Superstore they were under $20, I dont remember the brand name but this is what they look like ..

Can anyone recommend good in ear/canal headphones that have a microphone and a clicky thing to pick up/hang up calls and change song tracks (like the iPhone head phones). The left headphone on my iPhone headphones keeps coming out of my ear for some reason.

If you want excellent in-ear headphones take a look at the Creative EP630s. They are fantastic and can be hand for about $14.99-$19.99 from either Zellers or Dell.

I have those Sony EX71's, at least I think I do... (can't remember the model number) the sound is clear and crisp and blocks out sound really well, bass wise it doesn't have the absolute most power as the other models, but still respectable... they also come with a case so that they're protected when not in use.

Also the price point is pretty reasonable, since I usually use my headphones everywhere and I've found that the bud styles break or fray faster than those DJ style headphones so when they need to be replaced it's not a hit to the wallet again.

bose in ear headphones are amazing. They cost about $130 at Futureshop. I've used Shures in the same price range as well, and think the bose's are much better.
