headphone recommendations

cow, as a member of various headphone forums I would recommend you visit Head-Fi to get an idea of what is out there as far as headphones. At first it will be overwhelming but you will get the hang of it. I do suggest you establish a budget and be careful or you will be spending $1,400 on a pair of headphones, $1,000 in a re-cable job for the headphones, followed by a $12,000 CD-Player, a $5,000 headphone amp, $2,500 in power conditioner, and $5,000 in power cables and interconnects. Yes it is a crazy hobby!

"mrarroyo," thanks for the advice. I'm planning to leave within the hour-- do you think browsing these forums would be a help to me in that short time?

At the moment, I definitely don't want to spend more than $200-- I can hear the difference between my Bose headphones & some cheapo Sonys I've had, but I don't know that I could differentiate between the aforementioned Bose phones I've had & some of the higher end pieces available.
