Good Headpones for under 150 canadian

Hi, I need some good quality headphones for under or around 150 canadian (I think thats around 100 american?) I will be using them for computer gaming and listening to punk rock and a bit of rap. They don't have to block out exterior noise. They also need to be able to connect to my discman which is a sony g-skip (don't know the number). I need to be able to buy them at a canadian retail store or get them by phone (internet is not an option)

Thanks alot,
Mark

Sennheiser HD 497's. I paid $60 for mine and they sound awesome. They work well with computers and are just able to be powered by portable music players.

I just bought a pair of Koss PortaPro Headphones... $70 Canadian and they have incredible clarity and bass to die for... and they are comfortable, portable and incredible.

Get them at Radio Shack.

Thanks guys,
Any other recomendations?:D

For under $150CAN easy as 1,2 and 3

Grado SR60(best budget headphones)
Sennheiser HD495
Koss PortaPro

The HD497 is not only better, but easier to drive. I doubt you will be able to drive the 495's properly without an amp.

Thanks, now i think im going to get the grao sr 60's because i cant find the hd 497 or 495 sennhieser models in canada. :D

the grado sr60's are ugly as sin.. I had to post that :D

ya i agree but as long as they sound great ill probaby buy them. Hey thats what headphones are for, isn't it?:D

I don't know, I haven't seen any of the grado headphones in person, but from pictures, I think they look pretty cool/old school. Of course, I like the way just about anything looks if it perorms the way I like... Sort of a "chicken and the egg" sort of thing.
