Default Best Headphones for $50

I got an email from Amazon with a free $50 gift code because i bought an HD DVD player. I've decided to spend it on a reasonable set of headphones.

So what would you recommend in this price range? The price can be higher than $50.

I don't want open-air cans, as I'm not looking to bother anyone around me. Sound isolation is definitely plus. IEM's are good as well.

Ahh ok Well I'll make a suggestion of what to AVOID. The eDimensinal 3D 5+1 Force Feedback headphones. Simply awful.

Music was convoluted and muddy, games were O.K.
