Looking for something in the $100 range (give or take $50) to use with my S.E.X. amp.

David,

I'm using Sennheiser HD448 phones with my S.E.X. amp.  They are being closed out on the Headroom site for $99 http://www.headphone.com/headphones/sennheiser-hd-448.php.  I didn't have much experience with headphones and bought them based on the customer reviews and Headroom value rating.  I have been happy with them anyway.

Try the Audio Technica ATH-A700. Shawn has some, and I have the ATH-A900. They both sound great for the money and we really don't hear much difference between the two models.
