[net.audio] Seeking Headphones Recommendations

   I'm looking to buy a pair of quality headphones and am seeking
recommendations.  I've previously owned a pair of Mura Red Set phones
and a set of Koss PortaPro phones.  The Koss phones are fine for use with
my walkman, but I'd like a better set for home use.  I prefer the
"circumaural" phones to the "superaural" phones which have pervaded
the market--I haven't heard a pair of the latter type which has 
satisfactory bass response, which is a big requirement for me.  I'm
looking to spend < $100.  I hear that the AKG phones are good.
Any of you audiophiles out there have any advice on this matter?
Thanks in advance.
