What is a good pair of headphone for around $100. I am done with cheap headphones. I want to buy a good pair of headphones I can have for a more then just a few months. I am no audiophile but I also have seen plenty of shi*** headphones. I would be using them with my Samsung Galaxy S4, and laptop. So I would not have a amp or dac. Thanks!
These are my current headphones, I've been very pleased with them.

I personally love the G35
The ATH-m50 have a huge rep of being good, and I'm actually starting to save up to get a pair.

Grado SR80i's.
Unless you're aiming for like earbuds.
Those headphone look's good and quite cheap and they are perfect to me cause in Helsinki i am working as call center agent in a call center company and head phones are very important to us and lucky i am to found one.
How about you start with something for free. Viper4android will make even a cheap headset sound much better . Logan already recommend a headset in the last day or two that would match up nicely.http://amzn.to/1bwXlBa then if you wanted you could add a dac amp or regular headphone amp to the mix. Me? I like a dac, tube mix.
My first "good" headphones I bought were Sennheisers, HD 518s. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-518-Headphones-Black/dp/B0042A68R8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394704569&sr=8-1&keywords=hd+518
Also, and interesting website is http://www.headphone.com/
You can browse around there, they have "top ten" lists of headphones etc, which could help you make a decision. That website was the reason I bought my first pair of Sennheisers, and I loved them.
I'll give a +1 to the ATH-M50's they are great for the price and can be used without a soundcard or DAC/AMP. When i got them first I had to go back through all my music because It was easier to tell what was good quality MP3 and what was a shitty quality MP3.
