I have some really neat AKG K26P headphones. I found them here: http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-manufacturer/akg/akg-k-26-p.php.
They fold, they're pretty small, very little outside noise, and have amazing bass.

I have some rockin Sennheisers PMX 60's.  As far as sound quality goes, they make my uneducated ears orgasm.  However, they cannot cancel sound worth shit, so I find myself drowning out the monotony of school with pure volume, this has three majour disadvantages;

1) My hearing.  I like my ears not to bleed.
2) The Sound leaks.  At my Creative Zen Touch MP's lower register, those seated around me can hear the wailing guitar chords of Cause = Time.  This however can double as an advantage, maxing out my players volume while wearing my headphones off of my ears turns me into a portable speaker.  I mean that too, very little sound quality is lost when projecting from my neck to my buds' (no pun intended) ears.
3) Drains my Batteries.  When I decide I don't want to listen to Bus noises, I'm leeching my battery like the hookworm drains blood from a kitten. 

However, if you want a lightweight, portable, super sexy sounding set of headphones (with a rockin' warranty) I recommend these bad boys.

I use Grado SR80's; extremely good set of headphones for the just-under-$100 price. They're comparable and sometimes better than Sony's or Sennheiser's more expensive offerings; most people just don't like them for their "low-tech, retro" look. I've been using them for about a year on my computer (I don't generally use them for my portable players) and they are so much better than the speakers I used before. Check some reviews on them, I recommend them to everyone on the market for headphones.

I have a friend who uses the SR60's (a bit more affordable for some one who may not notice the difference, they only have a bit lower bass range) and also has only good things to say about them. If you're willing to spend the extra money, the SR125's are supposed to be even more totally awesome sweet alabama liquid snake than either of the others.

in summary:
SR60's- willing to try something new with headphones, the smart place to start
SR125's- entry level audiophile
SR80's- happy medium

Mikendher:
I can vouch for grados, they are pretty ridiculous.

Sennheiser HD280 pros. Best headphones I've ever owned.
