go for Titan BLACK the best around that budget but they are in-ear u will get those for ~2k in local stores (atleast the rates are 100 to 200 buck less in lamington rd ;))

i personally own a pair of Lowriders and i say the sound is good (not for that price tag :() but the built is i think a bit delicate specially the band with connects both the speakers and u cant have them on ur hears for more then 1o mins its terribly uncomfortable in long stretch uses

Skullcandy? Are you freaking kidding me? They sound **** as compared to its competitors!

If you want iem (in ear ones) then go for Brainwavz M2 at 2.5k from pristinenote/lynx
No competition to that.
In case of headphones,

Get one of these
Audio-Technica Headphones- T200, T500 , M20,M35 , AD300, AD500, AD700, A900

Plus, if you want to know more about quality iems , visit this - Multi-IEM Review - 199 IEMs compared (Fischer Audio Tandem & HiSoundAudio Crystal added 10/05/11)

This site should be bookmarked and it also has lots of reviews for headphones as well, there's even a similar thread for headphones.

^^^ the OP is asking for headphones,why are you suggesting him earphones. Few people have problem with earphones and feel only comfortable with headphone.
Can't go wrong with Shure 440/840 or Audio Technica.
