Anybody recommend a good, reliable pair of headphones?

Hey y'all,

For the past year or so I've been using KOSS headphones for a variety of machines from my PSP to my laptop -- unfortunately, this is the second pair of KOSS UR-15C that crap out on me. And from the same symptoms, too; one side dies completely, while the other still works fine. It's enfuriating, to say the least.

I've finally decided it might be time to invest a little cash into a good pair of headphones. I liked the KOSS ones because they were big and padded, and fit nicely around your ears...Still, they weren't high-end 'phones, I imagine. What do you guys use, and what's the price point? I want a nice-sounding, reliable pair of headphones, but nothing overly expensive; $50, tops. $60, if I'm in a real good mood.

I'll mostly be using them to play music, and since I do quite a bit of that lately, I'd like closed-type headphones that fit nicely, and that have great sound quality, too. Any suggestions?
