Where to get a good pair of headphones for cheap?

I need good programming music but share an office with my boss, and though he and I usually agree on what to listen to, there are some days where I just want my own music. No compromises. Any advice on what headphones to buy, and from where? I was looking at Sennheisers, but I'm not really sure what I need.

What is your price range?

Headphone.com has a good listing with small reviews.
Ars Technica has a FAQ, but its a bit difficult to find.

I just bought a pair of Grado SR-80s for my Nomad 3 and its a great matchup.

Since it's just for work, no more than $50 most likely.

No idea about the $50 range, but the Grado SR-60's and Senn HD-497's are at $70. Thats about the entry price point for good headphones.

Maybe other people know of one for the $50 price range.
 
How about $69, you could swing that for the Grado SR60s !
The best bang for the buck on those cans...

SR60's are open headphones, though, which wouldn't be ideal for my purposes.

Open headphones (SR-60's for example) are okay if you have your own cube with decent walls. But if you are sharing an office, you'll want sealed headphones.

No idea on where to go for those. I've only owned and listened to opened.
