preferrably closed - i was looking at HD-25s but it's a little outside of my need and price range. i'll basically be using it to listen to samples and music for recording, and i'd like something that sounds clear and is reliable.

good headphones?

I purchased the Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs. They are a closed set with great range. Price point was $129.99 cnd before taxes. I've used them on my Mackie boards, home theater, PC, Ipod and my amateur radio gear. I would class them at a good mid range unit with great bank for the buck performance wise.
Pardon me if I'm being an idiot, as I have no clue about headphones, but if you stop by any GameStop/EB Games, and you don't mind earbuds, look for the Headbanger earbuds by Pelican. I bought a pair to listen to music on my PSP, and they have an incredible bass sound (and altogether sound), as good as some of the high-end buds my friends have, for just about 20 bucks. But look specifically for the ones with the big, boxy amp attached - the other kind works only on the PSP. The recent models work on everything.
If you're looking for some of those big, foamy headphones, I recall Rondo having some for about twenty bucks as well. I can't attest to their quality, though, but I generally trust Rondo.

I have those Behringer HPS 3000 and they sound great.
I little heavy for my taste, and they make deep bass sound, but I must admit that, used to bass... I love to feel the deep end on my chest, and headphones lack that.
anyway, mine is this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Beyer Dynamic, DT880 
If those are too pricey check just about any other Beyer Dyanmic model until you find one in your price range

Beyer Dynamic are amongst the best monitoring headphones around. very dry and clear. However, I don't think they have really good low price stuff
You might wanna try the sennheiser HD-280, not as expensive as the HD-25, but very good as well, I use it for recording, mixing and just listening to music and radio. It's perfect!
