That budget doesn't include the amp/DAC/etc. I'd need for it (which, if possible, I'd like recommendations for too, please).
Anyway, my two biggest requirements are that they leak as little sound as possible, and that they're comfortable to wear for 4+ hours. My current headphones, Sony MDR-V600, meet both requirements, and are fine for the music I listen to, but I'd prefer something better particularly for Blu-rays.
I'll be using a laptop, too, so PCI/PCIe sound cards aren't an option, and I'd prefer the amps/DACs/etc. to be USB-powered.
