Headphones

I know there is another thread on headphones, but I was hoping for a recommendation. I am a budding audiophile, albeit a cheap one. I was hoping for a solid pair of under 100 dollar full size headphones. I was eying the sennheiser HD428's. I have a pair of high quality bud earphones, and am looking for something more substantial. I don't live alone and listening to loud music through the night is not acceptable. Noise canceling doesn't need to premium, but some effect would certainly be welcomed.

Any suggestions are welcome, but try to suggest models new for under 100 dollars.

Decide on what you want to do with your headphones first - if you are wanting to record vocals or any live instrument with them, consider Closed Headphones (less quality in sound but the sound will not leak through into your recordings)

Open headphones are generally of a better quality.

I don't really know why you need a new thread when this one exists.
