New headphones mainly for iTouch and phone, suggestions?

I want a set of headphones so I can enjoy my music while on the move that little bit more. I'm not that keen on a professional set that costs $2.5k, I just want something that delivers good sound for a reasonable price. Probably the max I'm willing to spend is AU$500.

I prefer the style and sound quality of on-ear headphones as opposed to in-ear; I currently use a cheapy set of in-ears and they're uncomfortable, fall out all the time and have rubbish sound quality. If it helps at all the devices I'm most likely going to be using this with are my iPod Touch 4, my laptop and my HTC HD7 phone, and I listen to all sorts of genres of music, I have a bit of bias towards Metal and D'n'B though.

I listened to a set of Monster Beats Dr. Dre Studios in store and they seemed more than enough for my tastes but I've been reading that there's a lot better sets for a cheaper price.

I love the beats by dre but i think it's way too expensive for what it is...I have a over ear phillips with noise canceling - it cost me $50 and sounds really nice for the money. The bass doesn't hit as hard as I would like it to and the music isn't crystal crystal clear but still really good...I also have a pair of sennheiser I got or $20 and is also really good...They are in ear headphones and sound amazing. i've tried a few of their over ear headphones and they sound equally as nice.

I've used some skull candy that sound just as good as some bose or sony headphones but they break easily.

If you like on-ear headphones, I would go for boss or sennheisers

you can google these headphones and look at the reviews too...amazon is also a good place to find reviews
