I've always worn cheapo IEM headphones like the JVC Marshmallows and I like them for most of my mobile music listening. But sometimes I just want to sit back and have some luxurious listening.
I've heard extremely good speaker sets before, and the difference to me is almost orgasmic.
I want a good over the ear headphone, as good as I can get for $300 or so. Accurate, crisp, huge range, etc. Something I can keep and be happy with forever. Driven through my laptop headphone jack. I want one where the main wire can be disconnected. In my experience, it is always the wire that ends up breaking somewhere, making headphones useless.
Maybe something like this?

PSB M4U 2 Active Noise-Cancelling - I like these because they have a built-in amplifier.

I also went to Fry's and tried these - they have a sort of audiophile-feel to them, but something was still missing. I'm also not sure if it was lacking due to the fact that it was at Fry's and probably had been abused or something.
