Portable, on-ear (supraaural) headphones up to 130 $

[Cassegrain]

Somehow my previous thread on this topic has been deleted, thus I am forced to start a new one.

So, I am looking for a pair of good headphones in a reasonable price (like everyone) that have a nice but not overwhelming bass.

I've chosen some models, but I can't decide which one is the best one. Unfortunately I can't test them by myself in local stores (because their are simply unavailable around my location), except the Audio-Technicas and those I want check out tommorow.

So here they are:

Beyerdynamic DTX 501p, AIAIAI TMA-1 X, Audio-Technica ATH-WS55, Audio-Technica ATH-SJ55, AKG K451, Phillips Fidelio M1.

I shall be thankful for any suggestions, opinions.

PS. Device: iPod Nano, Nokia Lumia, laptop (with fidelizer and ASIO4ALL).

Seem to tick the boxes of your needs and price.

The DTX501p sounds good, the AIAIAI less so, the WS55 much less so, the M1 so dark that I couldn't use it. The others I don't know, but the new Soundmagic P21 is excellent.

Thank you for answers! V-Modas are far above my budget, they are priced at around 200$ everywhere. So it is gonna be DTX 501p or the new P21.
