Audiophiles: Educate me about headphones

I'm looking to pick up a pair of higher end heaphones. I've done some reasearch but would like to get some opinions here. They would be mostly used for music through a computer or ipod so a 3.5mm jack is preferred (without an adapter) but they would ocassionally be plugged into a receiver.

I'm looking to spend less than $150. I have read about circumaural and supra-aural and while I have had a few cheaper circumaural phones and have been satisfied with them, I have read that the supra-aural (open back) sets can produce more realistic sounds.

One I am considering is the Grado SR80i (supra-aural) at $99. Reviews seem to all absolutely love this set:


If I went with circumaural (closed back over the ears) it would probably be the best Sennheiser within my price range.

Thoughts? Thanks!
