How much are the HE-560 down under? I can't fault mine, absolutely sublime.

I Would really consider what you're looking for in terms of sound signature. All of these headphones are good and you cant really go wrong choosing any of them. Comes down to preference.
 
Also I assume you meant hifiman HE560? HE400i at 700 dollars is probably not what you would want.
 
My vote went to the T90 as I enjoyed them very much myself, and theyre a comfortable headphone, and you can often find them refurfished for quite a spectacular price. Number 2 on the list would be the K712 or the HE560 if that's what you meant.
 
I would very very personally vote against the HD650 as if youre looking for comfort, theyre one of the weaker performers in that regard, and to me the sound a bit slower than some of the other options. A good can nonetheless though
