I've had: Sennheisers, Audio Technica, Sonys, etc. The A-T's are "in the ear" designs (buds). My good friend also has a set of Bose noise cancelling over the ear headphones that I've tried out.
But for that "Bang for the Buck" set: Skullcandy. They look kinda funny IMHO, but the sound stacks up there with the more expensive models I've tried, for a good less amount of money.
But... I'm not gonna put down anybody's choice of Senn's since I'm snobbish like that too.
