Best Mobile Headphones?

OK I tried a search, but couldn't find these ones in particular, I got a new job and they allow me to listen to music all day at work, oh headphones that is, well, I'll be buying another Minidisc player soon and I want some good cans to use with them, I'm not taking my DJ headphones with me cos they are the Sony 700s so they could break easly, there to big, and I can only wear them for so long before they hurt (for DJin there fine though), so I'm looking at the:
Sennheiser PX100 headphones.

for about 80 bux CDN.

Or.
The Sennheiser HD200s

I have tried these, my brother uses them for producing and he loves them, but I tried them along time ago and I do remember loving them, but can't remember why, and my opinion might have changed by now, anyway these are alittle pricier at just over 100 CDN.

So which ones would YOU go for and why?, other recommendations welcome, although I don't really wanna go any higher in price.

Sony MDR-V6 / MDR-7506. They're compact, tough as hell, and sound amazing. What else do you need?

Naa man they weren't the HD280s, there the DJin headphones, the ones I sold you were like professional studio ones, but although they sounded awesome, they weren't very secure on my head and they didn't have much bass.

These headphones will be used just for mobile listening, so don't bother mentioning DJ cans.

I personally love my HD590's great big sound and wonderfully comfy. If you don't wanna spend quite that much then get the HD570's. Sennheiser makes such comfy and wonderful sounding headphones.

I know what you mean man, I was at Radioshack the other day and they have about 6 different Sennheiser cans there, I couldn't listen to them but I could try them on, and man soooooo dam comfy, one pair was the same as the PX100s and they just.....FIT, there made so well, when I tried the HD200s, they sit around the ear, not touching it at all, you could listen to them for hours and have NO ear ackes after.

HD-590's all the way. I love mine, great sound, and very comfy.

I use sennheiser for dj'ing, production (HD 202) and wireless listening (RS45). I can't see past Sennheiser personally. The RS45's also have a charging bay for a second battery, so while your listening using one battery in the headset the second is charging on the docking bay.

Ya I have 3 pairs of senns 2 for studio work and 1 for just listening. But i'm going to change to pioneer for my dj headphones.

Do NOT buy the HD200's, mine broke down 5-6 months after I bought them, and I can't find the spare parts for them anywhere.

Thats shit to hear, but I think I'm gonna go for the ones above the PX100s, the PX200s, I just hope I can try them before I buy.
