Hey, I'm in the market for a pair of ON Ear Headphones. I've been using IEMs for ages and just want a chance. Nothing too bulky...Any recommendations?

Need to know budget and preferred sound sig?
 
Just gonna throw out the most popular ones out there:
Sennheiser HD25-1 ii // Amperior
Beyerdynamic DT1350
Audio Technica ESW9/ES10
V-Moda M80

Ah, that would help, sorry.
 
I'd say $150
I listen to everything, but I'd like something with a punch. Right now I have my JVC IEMs and they're great, I just want a change.
 
I do like the on-ear, not over ear, though.

I think the HD25-1 ii may be the best. Are they big though? I can't tell from the pics.  They are a bit over budget, though.
 
Not that I like the beats at all (audio quality wise), but I do like the size of it.

pic here, no they are rather small, so it should suit you good. the amperior is even more expensive though

And what would one level down from the HD25-1 ii be? I'd like to be a bit closer to my budget.

hmm.... to be honest, nothing that i know off from my limited knowlage, sorry bout that. the HD25-ii is basically level 1 while the amperiors are level 2.
the DT1350 is about the same price as the amperior

are the M50's too big being over ear? if so the Ultrasone HFI 580 might be too big too
