Ive listened to both the steel series and the Sennheiser and the Sennheiser is better than the steel series but both fall short of these. The only thing that the Sennheiser does better than these is bass. The audio technica's are a little light in the bass but I used my x-fi's equalizer to make up for most of the low bass. However, this is a slight concession for the absolutely HUGE sound stage you get with the Audio technicas. The Sennheiser uses a 38mm driver vs a 53mm in the Audio technica. They also have better frequency response than all the phones listed.

They don't come with a mic though so you would need that but overall I think they are the best sounding, most comfortable, and overall best headphones ive ever used. I will say that if you are listening to music you want it to be from a high quality source because these headphones are very sensitive and will amplify the errors in low bit rate music.

ive also been thinking about those, they look a little funky if i were to use them with my ipod though,

I still love only one pair of headphones... No sound card atm, but it doesn't matter. Dont need no 5.1 bs either. SUPER comfy (like 5 hrs on my head and no idea they are even there), DSP, and most importantly they are CSS approved, by me...

They are better than the Siberia IMHO - with a builtin mic.

Your asking for quality Styley. Quality way past most of the recommendations here.
You dont want trash headphones to mix up with your little amp deal. That would cut pretty much all the plantronics, logitechs and the cheaper Sennheisers. That Sennheiser 350 you posted is likely the best choice to pair with your little amp dealy.
