Im looking for high end headphones, around like 200 bucks? any suggestions? I listen to a lot of punk rock so bass isn't a huge deal...im more interested in small ear buds so i can use em while working outside.

I absolutely hate the "bud" type of earphones, they have s****y sound quality even in the high end models, and they fall out too easily, I prefer the huge headset types with full coverage to block out external noise.
Though my music tastes are tainted by my exposure to the high end audio scene probably.
Anyways though, I like my Koss UR-19 headphones, they're not the best out there, but the sound quality is decent, and they didn't cost a fortune.

sennheiser doesnt really make any high end earbuds i dont think.. they are all big headphones... I dont really know personally what a good model of earbuds around 200 are but thats prolly alot for that type of headphone... personally i would go with the sony mdr-ex71sl earbuds that cost around 40 bucks, good sound quality and they are pretty comfortable.. they are more like earplug style so they dont fall out as easily as the normal earbuds and they cut down on more outside noise.
If your really hell bent on spending that much for headphones shure and etymotic are generally considered the 2 best companys that make expensive earbuds... I dont personally think headphones over 100 are worth it, you can get really good quality for 60 or so that its kinda pointless to spend 200 unless your like super sensitive to sound quality... and when you dont care about base its even more pointless since headphones main quality problem is almost always base and most of the sound improvements moving from less expensive pairs to more expensive are in that area.
