I would go against a closed sound. So something with venting or semi open. Most of those they say monitoring..But the cup design does matter to the overall sound. Something with room.
 
 
These cans right here. What can they remind you guys of.?

What about the AT5000?
 
53mm driver, open-back.

Despite the color scheme...I have a funny feeling these weren't made for your typical consumer.

EDIT: The HP____ series looks a lot like M50s if you ask me, but I don't know if that's what you had in mind.

Cash,  Have you heard the 940 velour pads on your Somic's?

I have not.

I'm thinking about ordering some, but there's only so much money you can make as an undergraduate assistant.

Here's my priority list: 
 
  • Arcatron Amp
  • Proper ear-pads for those "special project" phones I was telling you about.
  • iSK...something
  • 940 pads for the Somics.

BTW, gluing the outer edge of the 840 pads and then putting them in the Somics keeps them in pretty well.

Alright so i found something i was rather shocked by : 
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.279.5ymaMN&id=20981812356
 
I mean What? 
That looks way too good at that price.  Anyone from china willing to shine a ray of light on what those are? 50mil drivers and seemingly metal construction is what it seems.

To my eyes, it looks like 100% cheap chromed plastic.
