Headphone choice - toughy

Basicly I'm in the market that I can use in my room on the computer AND be portable enough not to look like a uber tw*t when I take them out (I.e. no full size closed cans). On ear would be best, if not I would like the headband not too be overly large as I will be wearing these in public

I have around 70 quid to spend (100 bucks or so) and after ALOT of searching I've so come out struggling!

SR60, have a VERY good reputation for sound, which is my primary request, however because they are open, and I want to use them on my mp3 player, I'm worried they would be just too loud to listen to them on the bus or train. How easily heard is leakage at moderate volumes?

PX100, cheap so doesn't matter too much if they leak too much, but if that happens, I'll be in the same situation as I'm in now

Porta pro, same as above

one possibility I have come out with is a pair of closed can k518dj, my main worry about these is that they might be a bit bassy? My main music choice is quite rocky, ranging through the whole spectrum of music but I'm sure its possibly to get it all right. A lot to ask for 100 bucks I know so something will probably will have to give, and looking at the reviews for the SR60's it will probably have to be the sound leakage. How noticable is it?

So I guess my main questions are their any cans what cans do you think are most suitable to my needs? Avoiding self conciousness on the bus would be a major plus but I'm fed up of the crappy sound quality I have on my current canned (cheap) headphones.

Any other suggestions?
