I have the AKG Y50 (~80$) and I love them; they're on-ear style, they have a 4 pin 3.5 mm jack (so it's optimal for phones). After the burn in they have a wide sound stage and sound detail; I've been able to hear as high as 20 kHz, so they've got more than the highs the internal DACs don't give you. The bass are deep, punchy (even as low as 5 Hz, which is impressive) but they're not covering mids and highs which are clear and always present

They're crap. Honestly, their value is around 3 / 4 $, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

DISCLAIMER: keep in mind that this is my honest opinion, everyone is free to think it in any other way. Also I don't mean to insult anything or anyone.

Also Sennheiser Momentum On-ear are really good, if you like Sennheiser's sound signature and if you're ok with paying a premium for design, materials and brand

I think (Or rather hope) that that was just sarcasm...

For full size headphones I would say Creative Aurvana Live! or the M40x, if you can use IEMs then.

Sennheiser Momentum

Zero Audio Carbo Tenore

They do look good but the m40x which @Dackzy suggested do seem better even though they cost 20€ more

Im not shure about the creatives but the m40x are pretty decent although i wonder if the m50(x?) are worth the extra 50€ which would bring me 30€ over my budget but i would consider it if they rwally are worth it. 

And no iems please im trying to get away from my cheap ass iems thats why i posted here at all

well the creatives are really praised with their slightly warm sound and the M50x is overpriced. The m40s is the more neutral pair on the line up, still not neutral, the m50x has a bigger bass boost. Also none of those IEM are "cheap ass"

Don't hate on iems, they're better than headphones for price to performance ratio imo and for a portable setup it just makes more sense.

Sorry that i didn't put it right because i was trying to say that i want to get away from my CURRENT pair of standard accessorie sony iems from my last phone. So i wasn't hating about all iems and i know that there are very good ones out there, i even considered buying the jaybird x2, but i just dont want iems in general anymore because i personally prefer on ears.

About the AKG Y50, they do have a lot of clamping force. But they sound good. Not comfy.

 

M40x and M50x are not that comfy. Forget about it. 

 

Sennheiser Momentum. Comfort is OK. Sound is perfect. 

 

I would honestly get the Sony MDR-1AB for 140 euro:

The comfort is supreme. They sound excellent, especially on vocals. You can fold them flat and carry them around easily.

so in think im going with the sonys

You could click on "occasion" to get a "used" one for 130 euro. The description states that it has minor cosmetic defects on the top or sides. 

[garukno]

for portable use i recommend to use IEM over headphone

if you want headphone try Sennheiser HD 202 or Sennheiser PX 200

[SphinxPhoenix]

So i did go with the sonys and thnks too all answers guys

Congrats! It's the real deal as far as portable headphones go.
