There's the Sennheiser HD-280 or HD-555, I believe there are a few other brands that have decent ~$100 offerings.

I was reading that the 280's had weak bass on them, and that's one of the main things I wanted cuz really hate no bass lol

Audio-Technica ATH-500s

Good bass response + easy to drive from a computer soundcard. Great gaming headphones to boot. 99 bucks

edit: those AKGs are supposed to be good too, I was just throwing a full sized suggestion out there.

Was just reading up on those Audio Technica's they have good reviews by people and for the 99 bucks pretty good

If you don't mind open-type headphones check Grado SR60 or SR80.

You can get the Sennheiser HD580 from Amazon for $140 right now. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Do the grado's have really good bass on them?

K81 DJ's are great sub $100 closed cans. I have a pair of 555's as well and much prefer the K81's for rock. If you end up going for them, burn them in for around 100 hours and afterwards take the headphone inserts out. It really opens up the high's.

Seconded. For the $44 I payed for them, they sound great.

under $100, i think nothing beats the sony V6. but i guess it's just personal preference.

I, Hough NutZ of ATOT, endorse this statement. VERY good headphones with great bass response.

The headphone preferences are quite subjective, so YMMV. If possible, try any headphones before buying them.

The SR80s have better bass, it's good enough for me.

Two things about SR60 and SR80:
- some soundcards may not provide sufficient output, although I didn't have problems using SR80 on several laptops
- they are not very comfortable, it took me quite some time to get used to them

Check the forums at headfi.org for headphone reviews and recommendations.

I'm wearing HD497s and they have good sound but not the most comfortable.

These will make you unable to listen to music on any other headphones. They sound amazing!

I'm not sure how they sound unamped though? I've heard to get the most out of Beyers you need a decent amp.

I own a pair of K81DJs and they are great, especially if you like bass. The bass might be a little strong out of the box though, but after they're burned in it cuts back a bit. I also own the HD555 and I would not recommend them if you want a lot of bass. Also, Grados are GREAT for rock/metal, but again, they were designed for great vocals/guitars, but not so much bass (though it is balanced very well for the genres it was designed for). I've got a pair of Grado SR225s on the way and I can't wait to hear them My cans for when I want bass are the K81DJs though. You won't be disappointed

I should also add, the K81DJs have AMAZING isolation. I especially like using them on the bus. I can listen to soft, acoustic music at a comfortable volume without being disturbed by all the talking/engine noise
