i'm assuming you're american and that you mean $50.

it was a JK for you, but I do actually use those. They work pretty good and I have been using them regularly for like 5 years.
(I'm not a big audio guy though so I don't know if its epic per-se, but they work better than most of the headphones I have used)

Have a look through here: circumaural headphones listed by rating at head-fi.org
I lucked out and bought Creative Aurvana Live! headphones from Amazon last Black Friday for ~$36.

I used to have the AKG K450 (broken now :(). Though a 'bit more expensive', it's a very good one. You might look at the cheaper models from AKG I'd say.
But in general, you can' get a GOOD over-ear headphone for under $100. If you really want good ones, expect to pay $150 or more. The Hifi headphones I own (BeyerDynamic DT990) are now close to 30 years old and back then they were DFL 350 (around €175 now, but add 30 years of inflation :D) and I think those are still the best headphones I've ever bought.

been looking myself, originally at gaming (surround), but am now thinking to just get a good all rounder as Razer have released their virtual surround thingy for free/charity till the end of the year. This has left me looking at a far better selection at around you price bracket. Personally I looking at the AKG K450 series and hopefully in the next couple of days I can pick up a pair a bit cheaper.

The AKG K450 has one major flaw, and that is that after a year or so the right ear will quit working. The internal wire used will break because of usage. This thread reminded me to pick it up again and let it repair at a local store (if possible).
