I'm getting back into producing and miss my old cans (Audio Technica M40fs).  I liked them a lot - comfy, pretty flat & with a little bass.  I could get them again but I'd like something more portable (which is code for easily hidden from from young children).  I'm just not sure if there is anything worthwhile under $100 that is as comfortable as a pair of full-size phones.  I do own a cheap pair of in-ear phones, which are ok but without a great fit.
 
Purpose-wise it would be for composing & listening to electronic music.  I don't want phones to make the music sound better, which would certainly be bad thing when doing a rough mix.  Suggestions?

Sony MDR V6 are supposed to be extremely neutral and are around $80

Googling reviews & frequency response of the MDR V6...

Gonna have to put my vote in for the mdr-v6 as well. Very good deal at around 60$. They are comfortable (sit on your ears rather than around, durable and transportable design, and sound great. Alternatively you can try a similarly priced srh-440 at any music store like a guitar store. They will likely carry the shures.

The sonys were way ahed in comfort for me though.

What site has the most accurate frequency response data?

Innerfidelity has good FR graphs

Thanks.  There's so much more info online than there was when I bought the M40fs years back!
