Hey guys. I am a DJ and have been through my fair share of headphones for professional and personal use. Brands to watch out for are Pioneer, Sennheiser, Shure, Ultimate Ears. Brands to run from (in my experience) are Audio Technica, Yamaha, Sony (mainly on their lower end), weird brands like Coby and JVC, and for godsakes be weary of skullcandy; they may look cool but they are made from exceptionally cheap materials that result in poor build and sound quality.
Finally, it depends what you are looking for: in-ear, cans(over ear or open air), noise canceling etc.
In-Ear:
1-- Sennheiser CX200

3-- Shure E2c

Open-air:
1-- Koss PortaPros (dorky but amazing sound for $)

2-- Sennheiser PX100
