also, scored a set of ATH-AD900's for secret santa

I have a pair of Klipsch and they sound pretty decent for the price range. Not a not of base but the audio sounds so much better than the beats I had. It just sound more clean I guess.

Sennheisers seem to offer a good balance. The only Klipsch I've tried is the Reference One, which had very good bass for EDM, but it was also a bit too muffled for pop songs.

Heads up to those looking for a pair of inexpensive BT buds.
The meelectronics AF72 are more than half off again @C$46.xx.
Good for those who want a wireless solution when they have their device close by (in bag, purse, strapped on arm etc.). Not good for streaming from your PC on the 3rd floor and working in your garage etc.... (has ~2m+ indoor range)
SQ is not bad for the $$, I would say slightly below the SQ of the Klipsch si4. Not good if you use the smallest eartip with most earphone (driver is in the stem where you mount the eartip so its a little big).
Otherwise a cheap, decent sq pair to use as a beater when you work on your car, garden, etc etc. (Tested no sound lag when playing YT or Movies/dramas on VLC)  http://www.amazon.ca/MEElectronics-E...nics+bluetooth

Ordered the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear at NCIX a few days ago for only $100.
Very impressive sound, but I'm extremely choked on how much sound they leak.
Because the thing is, I already own the HD555, so it's debatable if the Momentum is even better or not.
The main reason I was looking for new headphones was for the portability, but I have no idea how these are advertised as portable if they're going to leak enough to disturb any one sitting 3 feet from you. Sure, if you keep the volume under 50% and listen to acoustic music, it should be alright. Except these are bass heavy headphones, with the target audience of EDM, R&B, Rap, etc. So you can sure bet people are going to be cranking these up to 75%~ volume.
Still love the eye-candy design of these, and the alcantara. But I'm just disappointed beyond words at how these leak so much when there are so many other on-ears that don't leak.
Such a bummer as it was my Christmas gift to myself and I was so stoked upon picking them up today and opening it. 
Anyone have experience with the Klipsch Image ONE? Are they decent with holding in sound? I'm leaning toward those right now, only because I've personally tested the Reference ONE, and they are pretty identical, and the Reference ONE doesn't leak at all.

Got the RHA MA750, they sound great but they lack a little bass compared to the se215s. Built quality is excellent! $119 at the headphonebar, get them before they increase their prices next week!

recommendations??? | Audio Technica ATH-M50x. in that price range there isn't a better set of headphones. they even fold up and have a cord that disconnects and can be stashed in the pouch they come in for travel.

You'll have to wait for major sales like Black Friday, to get them at around 150CAD range. You could also check out Amazon.com as they sometimes have them on sale for approx. 120USD. Headphonebar on Broadway, near MEC, has a huge section of popular headphones on display for you to try out.

They're worth the price - especially if you use an amp and change the ear pads from pleather to velour.

i've got a line on a used set for $150 or a set of shure SE215's for less than $80
both state they are "only used a few times"
as much as i really want the m50X, i just think it'll be a much smarter choice to go with the se215's. my wife's got a pair so i now what they sound like and it'll be alot better for travel

You might as well get se215's on Massdrop, one of those group purchasing websites, for $80USD instead. Idk about you, but I feel that used headphones are kinda gross and unhygienic.

^ There are velour pad options out there for the M50. Highly recommended. I tried my friend's M50 and never liked it until he purchased Velour pads.
Ebay would be your best bet.

ya i'm loving these things (m50x)
meh when used with my phone (music in the buses while travelling, not very loud)
but used with my computer they sound WAY better
it's amazing how you can now really tell a shitty quality song (older) with higher quality (newer) songs

Anyone able to recommend me a good pair of ear buds?
Looking for ones that'll stay in the ear while on the move.
Good bass is a must.
Doesn't need to be wireless/BT.
Doesn't need a mic for calls.
Just good crisp quality with good bass that'll stay in the ear.
Suggestions?
