I got my friend into higher end headphones and since I never looked into the lower range of headphones I don't know what is considered good.

Hoping for closed headphones, easy to push and not too big if possible (semi-portable).

JVC HA-M750

Sony MDR-XB300

you can try XB500 if you like bass.

+2 on the HA-M750 just realize that out of the box they will be boomy for quite a while unless you burn them in.

HD205.. Vintage pioneer/K280 if lucky.

My opinion is that you should just set it up to around $100 and get something better

+3 on HA-M750. Very user-friendly set of phones.

Are these better than the HA-RX700s?

Not necessarily but the RX700 aren't even close to being portable.
