I already have a Z-5300e Logitech 5.1 sound system, plus a X-Fi ExtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro I got last week - I'm thinking of getting headphones for music/gaming - my budget is 75$-100$.....as long as I stay around 100$, I'm fine.
I primarily listen to Trailer/Soundtrack Music, of movies and games, and also high-end trailer studios such as Immediate Music and Future World Music, with a moderate amount of classical music, and a light bit of alternative rock, pop, and trance/techno/new age thrown in. I also do some FPS gaming (Quake4,HL2, CS:S, Bioshock).
There are 3 models which seem to fit into my budget - these links are just for reference, not pricing
Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 (can be found for ~$100)
HD280 PRO (can be found ~80$)

HD555 (can be found ~90$)

I will be mostly using these at home, in a quiet environment, but would like somewhat good passive noise cancellation when I'm traveling on a bus or a plane...also at rowdy parties...
As you can see, these are mostly for music, and some gaming with audio-intensive games.
Any suggestions that fit my music/gaming criteria tastes? -
