I liked DT250 250Ω a lot.  With good amplification they might have even better tonal balance than the SRH840, but I preferred the latter because of the better (but still not great) soundstage.

Try the GMP 8.35 works great as a flat monitor hps. Here is more info : http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/406658/the-german-maestro-gmp-8-35-d-monitor-in-the-studio-serious-about-audio-indeed

I'd recommend AKG K271 MKII. Ongoing thread:

I have the open version of the 271, the 240  - they are amazing. Their main merit is not getting in the way between you and the music.

The shure loses alot of points because it's bulky but the mids focus would be welcome...

Seems like the m-50 might be the defacto winner here...

The mids focus here are the K271MKll. The M-50 are more of bass focus. BTW, the K-271MKll are more flat and balanced compare to the M-50.
