I probably would’ve gravitated towards the Fostex TH-X00. One of the best closed backs on the market but it has poor isolation because of holes/vents on the headphone so I probably wouldn’t be able to use it at work, which is a shame. That headphone is more v-shaped but it’s supposedly done right.
In consideration of a V/U shaped headphone, then the Ultrasone Signature DJ's can be had new for about the same price as the TH-X00 (sub $500). In my buying research the consensus seemed to be that the Signature DJ's somewhat similar to the TH-X00, but isolating. If you are looking for mids over everything, the Meze's are likely still the best choice though.
