JVC RX700. It's probably the best option for you, but they look supremely dorky.

I stuffed foam under the cushions to make them fit better and sound better (I thought, at least). Now that... That looked dorky. Love those headphones, though, thoroughly surprised me for the price.

Budget: $120 USD

Music preference: Anything really but mostly Dubstep/Rap

Type / form factor and portability: On/Over Ear. Portability is a MUST

Open/Closed (Not for in-ear): Closed

Source(s): Ipod/MP3 Player, Laptop, Anything with a headphone jack

Also, I'd like for the headphone to be kind of... stylish? I mean I don't want to get something like the Koss PortaPro (which looks downright ridiculous to me).

Thanks

The Creative Aurvana Live isn't terribly portable or built as well as I'd like, but for pure sound quality I'd say your best option. I'd go on-ear at this budget and for portability, though. Check out the AKG K181DJ or K518.

You've got quite a few good options, both on and over-ear. The V-Moda LP, Philips Citiscape Downtown, AKG K181DJ, and Ultrasone HFI-580 are what would be on my radar.

The Citiscape looks nice as does the V-Moda LP.

Any ideas for a good portable AMP?

None of these will benefit much from it and it'll just complicate your setup. You'd be better off spending what you would on an amp on more expensive headphones at this point and making sure your sound files are high-bitrate. If you want to play with amps, though, I can help you out. A good starter amp would be the Fiio E11 or even the E6, both paired with a Fiio L9 LOD for iDevices.
