Has anyone had any experiences with the Ultrasone Pro 450? I can't find any information on it.

Here's the HK Headphone shop thread if you want to check it out.  Just saw it today.

Unamped, and @Snoopy Ears, I've visited many of the stores on that thread already.

The Audiophiliac aka Steve Guttenberg has the JVC HA-RX700 on his list of sub $100 items for the holidays.

Might be worth looking into.

How about Superlux?  Seems like the reviews for their line up is pretty good.

I have the HD681 which popular for modifications.  Mine is unmodded (one day i keep telling myself).  Unmodded, the treble is very harsh but the rest of the frequencies are well represented.  DIY audio heaven has a step by step pdf on how to do the mod if you're interested.  Should be fairly cheap.

I can't find any of these, the JVC one included. Buying online is not an option for me, unfortunately.

Living in headphone hell? What about a Sennheiser HD239 or a Creative Aurvana Live (CAL)?

I tried out the HD239 and prefer the SRH440 over them. As for the CAL, I'm not sure why but I can only find Creative's gaming audio in stock. I found the AKG k540 and an ultrasone pro 450 for a really good price. Still currently leaning towards the 440s though. I am deciding whether or not I should wait a month or two more and save up more cash for something like a dt770

Depends how much cash you can save up in a month or two. If you can raise your budget to $200, you can get some really stellar budget headphones.
 
+1 on the $100 UE6000 recommendation.
