I'd say the Superlux models are great for home use. But I recently acquired a pair of Koss UR40's as a beater pair for cycling and they've really impressed me. They keep my ears warm and allow me to keep traffic awareness by virtue of them being open-back. I wouldn't recommend them without EQ because of mid-bass boomyness but they clean up really nicely. They weigh nothing, are open-back, and have awesome midrange. Their only downfall is that they don't have the extension of more expensive models, bass rolls off pretty early. But for €30,- cans that you can fold and violently stuff in your bag without worrying they're seriously impressive. If ordering from amazon add €10,- replacement pads for comfort. Still a steal.
Koss UR40 my beloved. With an alternative cable and pads. Although I can't really recommend them, I listened to the new ones in store, and the sound was very different from mine.
