Im looking to get a pair of cans for listening to music at work, and various other things. There have been a lot of times in the last week or so that I wish I had some decent ones.

I have been looking at Sennheiser HD429s. they are like $50 on amazon. What others can you recommend for the price range. Please don't recommend Bose or Beats, as I think there are a lot better options.
 
Go for the Senns no need to look any where else.

I like the Senns you listed though. Here is a good list for your price range:

EDIT: I know these are above your price range but these are the one's I own and love:

The Sony V6 is pretty good. The AD700 might not be as good of a choice since it's open and OP wants to use it at work.

Some other recommendations:
Sony MDR-XB500
Audio Technica ATH-M30 (the popular M50 model maybe within your budget if you can find a deal; it comes in straight cable and coiled cable versions)
Creative Aurvana Live!

Those Sony's seem nuts! 4hz lowest they go? jesus, that's lower then most subs for cars. I almost question the specs at this point. :twitch:
 
Check out the Superlux 668b, from what I have seen, the reviews are golden

how the pads are one big bridge going across. Feel like it would be weird feeling.
 
Well apparently their sound quality compare to headphones in the 150$ range
 
The Sony V6 cans at $70 is your very best bet. For that kinda money they are very very hard to beat.
 
One more vote for Sony MDR-V6, they are the standard for a lot of recording studios for over 2 decades for a reason.
