I highly recommend KRK KNS8400.
My brother has Audio-Technica ATH-M50, and a while back we did a bunch of comparing on different styles of music and movies, and concluded that the KRKs are slightly better. More spacious sound and a bit crisper high frequencies. Plus they're cheaper ($100), and have a replaceable cord, which is usually the first failure point on headphones.
I disagree with sbeirnes about youtube quality making good headphones pointless. Sure some videos are recorded on crappy mics, but others are very good other than a tiny bit of compression noise. And cheap headphones often can't produce deep bass frequencies, or have other frequency balance problems, which is a totally separate thing from compression noise.
