First set of headphones under $160, which ones should I get?

Hello everyone, long time lurker first time poster. Digging my new found affair with headphones.

 

I mainly sit at a desk for 8-10 hours a day and listen to either music or television shows I've seen a dozen times. I'm past the cheap $20-$30 headphones the either don't sound good or break. I recently got a set of JVC HA-S6000 as a gift and I loved those until I accidentally ripped the cord (fixed it with liquid plastic and they work sort of the same) and then I got a set of Audio Technica ATH-T200 and I really like those better.

 

After a few months with the T200's I was curious to see what else Audio Technica had in the $160 range. So now I'm looking at either getting the Audio Technica ATH-700 or the M50s I've been hearing a lot about. Is there a big difference between these two? Or are there others in the same price range that are better than these?

M50 are bass heavy with quite sharp hghs, Shure SRH840 is a better bet
