The AKG K701  is an open headphone. I would add to your list the AKG K550/551/553 Pro (each of which is roughly equivalent), the SoundMAGIC HP150, the Samson Z55, and the ATH-M40X (more neutral than the M50X and I believe, a better headphone). You might read about these and see what you think. It's possible one could work for you. Lastly, the DT770 can be extremely sibilant in its treble presentation. If you are someone who has trouble with bright headphones, you might want to stay away from the 770.

depends on the size of your head and ears, large ears might rule out listens. if you plan to use them for commuting then leather pads give advantage to listens as cloth would be bad in the rain. i like listens, if you can get them from a place with good returns get em and return if you dont like

You could also have a look at Logitech UE6000, they used to be in that pricerange, but can be bought really cheap now (around 60€). They got some quite good reviews, although the noise cancelling feature degrades the sound a bit when turning it on.
