Can anyone help me advice some good headphones between $100 to $200 that got a good sound quality and also look nice?

What do you think of shure SRH 440 and audio-technica ATH-SQ5 ?

I used to use creative fatal1ty MK II ... will there be any improvement?

Fullsize or portable? Noise canceling? Where will you plug them? There are lots of points consider.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 are very good for your price range.

I be using at home with my computer so fullsize i guess. I currently bought a sennheiser HD 448, the bass is a bit weak for my taste

The ATH-M50 has a lot more bass than HD448, can you check it out before buying in Singapore?

Denon AH-D2000 has more bass too, but they above your price range.

Ignore crap like Monster Beats or Skullcandy if sound quality is important, these are just fashion statements with fake overblown bass.

What kind of music do you listen to? And what kind of sound do you like? A lot of high end phones sound vastly different. They have their own sound signature. It's a matter of preference of what you like.

Do you like detailed and in your face, or do you like laid back and heavy?

@gevorg >> i will check them out when if get to Digital Mall coming a few day.

@astroidea>>
I usually listen to Rock, Alternative, sometime Pop or just some nice beats. I am also gonna use for playing games.

I like bass but not overbearing bass.

Sennheiser HD595s

My headphone of choice, great overall sound, and I listen to a wider range of music than most. Awesome sound for games, too. Had mine for over five years. Finding them new for $140 was a steal, they go for $180 on Amazon right now.

I'm happy with my Sennheiser PC350 headset + Asus Xonar DX (Dolby headphone on all times). Very good sound quality IMO

Did you buy any yet?
I have a pair of ATH-M50's at my work desk. Very nice and solidly built, great bass, recommended. The M50's keep sounding fine even though I have bought a much more expensive setup for home (Beyerdynamic DT880 with a DAC + headphone amp).
