1.)  AKG K271 MK II @ $230

 

2.)  AKG Q701 @ $269

Slight upgrade to the AKG K271

 

3.)  AKG K550 @ $299

Awesome headphones with a really nice neutral sound that will be pleasant to listen to for a ton of genres of music.

 

4.)  beyerdynamic DT1350 @ $300

These would be more for portable use, but work well at home.

 

Out of all of the aforementioned headphones I highly suggest  the AKG K550.

The Sennheiser 598 HD is around $250 on Amazon. I just bought a pair myself, super comfy, and sound great. They don't have a ton of bass though, at least not with the amp/DAC I'm using, so if you're a bass head I would suggest looking elsewhere.
