Hello,

I'm in the market for getting studio-quality headphones for <$100-$140 for on-the-go listening to music and music production (since I work with electronic music).

I'm thinking of getting one of these three, but any feedback or suggestions for other headphones would be great as well.

AKG K240 MKII

Sennheiser HD-280 PRO

Audio Technica ATH-M50

Again, I'm open to suggestions to anything around the same price. :)

Thanks!

Sennheiser HD-280 PRO, I bought these headphones before I went to SAE, and several classmates that spent $500 or more like the Sennheisers a lot better. They have the best isolation and sound quality of any that I have used in the $500.00 range. I paid $200.00 + for them in 2006 and I haven't bought another pair since.
