Hey guys I was just wondering what you guys would say were the best closed headphones in the $75-$100 price range.

thanks
 
sennheiser hd212 pros
you can buy them for $45 at JR.com
I love mine.
 
Sony XD-400, Audio-technica ATH-A500, Sony V6 ( not v600), Sennheiser HD201's.
 
I love my Sennheiser HD-280 Pros. I paid in late '04, you can find them for less now. They're very clear, but they lack some bass - until the frequencies get really low, and then the bass will seriously rattle your brain. I modded mine with some blue tak and it seemed to bring some bass out, although I'll need to A/B then with some unmodded 280s to really conclude that. They isolate like mad, by the way.

If I were going to buy a $100 closed headphone right now, though, I would seriously look into the Audio-Technica A500... haven't heard them but the general consensus is that they are badass, especially for gaming.
 
Out of curiosity - any particular reason you are looking at 'closed' headphones? It was what I had started looking at, under the impression the isolation made them "better", but, in practice, for a given price point, 'open' headphones sound a LOT better than 'closed' sets.
