I thought they sounded alright in store, though I have no idea what was powering them.
On the other hand, I picked up some Sennheiser ear buds and found them to be very lackluster.
I'm looking for some good audio, decent bass at around £100-£200.
He didn't state any preference.No point recommending open headphones for someone who wants closed headphones.
however there are some people close to me - I don't really want to disturb them if I can avoid it. Though, I won't be listening terribly loud.
Thanks for the input guys.
I'm going to be primarily using these for travelling and while at work - so they'll be powered merely by my Windows Phone 7 or my iMac.

The HD 25's are good for this, excellent at keeping the noise in your ears rather than others.
Where about's in the UK are you? I would offer you a test on a pair of mine if you were in north Hertfordshire.
Edit: Wait... your profile says Canada, nevermind! lol
I'm in the UK! I moved from Canada last year!
I'm in West Midlands, Shrewsbury area!
I agree with what ModKip said, but you'll need something else to fit your needs. Bass is hard to acquire without the use of an amp. A portable amp would work as well. You'll want a closed headphone design to prevent sound leakage that might bother people next to you. Perhaps another alternative which would retain bass and clarity while isolating sound would be In Ear Monitors. Some good ones would be Sennheiser IE7/8's, Yuin RE0's, Altec Lansing UHP336's, or any of the Ultimate Ears.
Any suggestions for a portable amp?
For myself, someone who listens to some rap but mostly rock/metal and likes heavy bass, what would you recommend from this page?

Well, I am listening to these things via the dedicated headphone output of my XFi Platinum, and these things have enough bass, actually they have a pretty decent bass. They are huge, but they have a great seal around the ears and they are EXTREMELY light and very very comfortable, I had them on most of yesterday and at times I actually forgot I was wearing them, with my technics after about an hour or so I get a sore left ear, but not with these things.
Also, think of it like this, UK distance selling laws, if you buy from that store and you dont like the headphones for ANY reason, just return them within I think its 7 or 10 days for a COMPLETE refund no questions asked. So you can try them out, if you dont like them pack em back up and send em back.
UK distance selling laws are great
I would defo go for the ATH-A700, especially if you like the bass, closed back.

Dr. Dre might be a god at producing music but his headphones suck.

I come from the DJ world, and we like our headphones with good, loud sound, that are easily transported, and built like a tank.
The HD 25s fit the bill. They aren't noise-cancelling, but if they can mute the sound of a packed club, they'll cover just about anything. They're rock solid, and made of easily replaceable parts. They sound great, are efficient, and can handle a lot of power. I can't think of a much better set of cans in my opinion.
The SPs are cheaper, but do not have the reputation of the originals. HD 25-1 IIs for the win.
Hello fellow UK person
Again, i suggest the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II you can get them for around £125-£150 I have 2 pairs, that's how much i like them. Very precise, replaceable parts, build quality is brilliant in general, doesn't require much to power them = they're loud on portable use.
I have the HD 25SP-II as well, prefer the headband on the 1's though.
