Yeah, in an over the ear headphone... sound quality is paramount. Styling does come in next. I don't want like Dr. Dre headphones and have someone instantly be like... OMG! He's got some expensive headphones. That's why I'll probably be going for these. You can't really tell if they are THAT expensive but I've been reading some reviews (not just on Amazon's website) that they are pretty good. Suggestions? Or could I get could I get something better for the price?

I believe those are headphones that set a standard at one point. If you look at the link about, it should be there.
Off the top of my head, the ones that set standards were:
Sennheiser 280pro
Sennheiser HD555/595
Beyerdynamic DT770/880
Obviously, this list should be at least 30 different sets. The ones that people use to compare new headphones to.

I would also recommend to see how comfortable they are. Ideally if you have had them on for like 8 hours and the tip of your ears do not hurt or feel fatigued afterwards, they are good.

I've put in an order for the ATH M50s and the Beyerdynamic DT770s. I'm gifting the M50s to my brother for his birthday. I hear the M50s have "legendary comfort", so I decided to put in an order to test it out. (My bro wanted to sell his beats to upgrade to the M50s, so hey, skip the poor student part for him and outright buy it for him)
Beyerdynamics look damn comfy in general and I like the idea of comfort and closed system. The HD 555 are comfortable too but the open system part at times requires you to crank it up so much more to drown people out.
Once I receive these, my household will have the HD280 pro, HD555 (moddable to the 595), ATH M50 and DT770 to toy with and compare. :)
I really need to listen to more orchestral though. My ability to determine the difference between oboes and clarinets needs more and more concentration these days. Kinda sad.
