I do not know about the above.. but inner ear headphones are really really good. Especially the Bose...but after my first pair I will not spend another $130 for earbuds....So, the radioactive looking ones at walmart for $10.00 are the next best thing!

If you want around half of your current max budget I'd recommend the Ozone Spark, Can't say I know a whole bunch about headphones so read on if you want. As you kinda said you wanted someone who understands the specs (which I don't know a whole bunch about :P), I've had them for over a year now their great audio quality and quite reliable a small disadvantage is that you cannot adjust the mic closer to your mouth, but it's pretty small disadvantage So if you looking at about 25 Euros (which I saw on Amazon) go for Sparky! :3

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
They're 149 USD, but I got them 40% off months ago. You can disconnect the mic too, which means that you can get it out of the way if you don't need it, or replace it if it gets banged up and stops working right. They fit over the ears, not on or in them. Best sounding headset I've ever had, but they're wireless USB so you may not be looking for these for yourself.
Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
8 foot cord, which may be an issue if you need portable headphones. The mic is removable. Standard 3.5mm jack.
Is there a certain level of durability you need out of your headphones? Will you be carrying these outdoors often, such as school, bus, mall, outdoors in general? Do you prefer a certain type of ear cup? In-ear (three varieties - marshmallow/spongy (noise cancelling, may attach via earwax with multi-hour usage), vinyl canal grippers (noise cancelling, may cause sweating), hard non-insert canal-toppers (cheap but reliable, bleeds sound, good high frequency range)), on-ear(fantastic range on this model), over-ear, behind-the-head, behind-the-ear?
Ignore anything branded by a celebrity. Beats By Dre have great sound, but you can get the same sound from the non-branded headsets for a third of the price. Dre's headsets are fantastic, but just match the frequency range and driver size to a cheaper design you like.
There are also techs like 'powered isolation' which means that the headset contains a mic that listens to outside noises, and produces a counter-noise that minimizes how much outside sound you'll be able to detect. The effect is the same as when you add hot and cold water together, producing water that is neither boiling nor frozen, instead having no positive or negative effect on your pain receptors. The headset causes you to be unable to hear anything except for your music. It's normally very expensive.

First thing is that basically, the retail price is always higher than it should be. If you could find a headphone currently at 50 euro while the list / original retail price is 60-80 euro, buy stuff like this. Personally, I would choose Sennheiser , Sony, or AKG.

I have been using the Sony MDR-XB500's for 2 years now, and they have been fantastic. (:
Edit: (Not to mention they are extremely comfortable.)

I've been using a Seinheisser PX-200-II, and before that I think it was a PX-100. Absolutely fantastic sound and comfort, really sturdy build plus it can fold neatly into a little travelling bag. Might be a tad expensive, but trust me, you won't need replacements for a long time with them.

Why isn't this the forum to ask? I would think the major steamgifts demographics would be the kind to use headphones in some capacity on a regular basis.
Also, googling wouldn't actually help you all that much. It could tell you what's popular, but not provide sources for informed opinions.

You won't get true audiophile cans at that price anyways but you can get very decent sounding sets and I can't think of a reason not to.
As for my suggestion, as mentioned already AKG K81, AD700, PX-200-II are pretty good. I would add JVC HAS500, AKG K240, CAL!, and maybe the ever-popular ATH-M50.
I don't know what prices the op has; these are based on US prices

I agree with this. I love their high-end sets, but their own low-end is on par with the no-names you find at checkout lanes.

I think i will buy soon a new pair of headphones and i need your advice.
For now i've seen 3 pairs that seems good, or at least i think they are:
I don't really know so much about headphones and reading only the specs doesn't give me a good idea about their quality so, what do you think, are these good headphones, if yes which would you choose, if no or if you know some that are better than this, which would you reccomend to me?
I'd prefer the budget to be at max around 55-60 euro but if there is something that if REALLY worth having compared to the other, I may increase the limit of the budget, but not too much.
edit: i don't want headsets and in-ear headphones
