Best headphones under $200 used?

I would highly recommend that once you figure out what you want, you check B&H Photo's web site for pricing. I picked up AKGK702's for next to nothing. They specialize in not only photography but also recording studio gear so they carry a lot of headphones and they move a ton of product so they're pricing is extremely competitive.

I've done a lot of reasearch and comparison on headphones in this price range lately, and have concluded that Klipsch is a good bet for audio buffs interested in good sounding phones at reasonable cost. I have their $80 buds which are quite good. Clean, crisp, with good and palpable bass. Very much in line with the "klipsch" sound in general I would say. I've also heard the Klipsch on-ear model (#?) that goes for ~$120 and those had similar attributes but sounded more like headphones as expected rather than earbuds.

There are many other good phones out there also of course. Most better ones I have heard at similar price points tend to have a more laid back presentation than the Klipsch.

You can get a set of very nice Grados for that figure. Not closed models, but with a little volume, you can easily drown out the drone of others as you listen.

I can drive my Grado 225 sig's with my ipod. The Sennheisers are also nice, but for the money, they did not compare with the 225's.

Please follow up and let the forum board know what you bought/how it worked out and why.
Best of luck!
