I still have 3 pair of the Sony 7506's (sealed) for my little recording projects, not perfect by far, but for $99 a good buy. For serious listening the AKG 701s win the day, but for much portable listening I like my Grados as I find their slight brightness what this old guy needs. I carry a pair of Koss Porta-Pros to school when I have some paper grading to do. I may buy a new pair of open Grado 225s this year, or give JMR's recommendation a new try as it is a new model. They are a nice looking pair of cans.
I did just buy some Shure SE-215's for $99 from SweetwaterSound off a InnerFidelity review and I am still trying to get a handle in putting them in quickly, but still a work in progress, but I do like the presentation for very little money. My first real pair of IEMs.
I also bought a pair or Sennheiser 120 wireless cans ($70) for bedside at night when I can't sleep. Sound OK and no cord works well with my portable players.
