It would help if you gave us more info, like what types of music you listen to, how you want the headphones to sound, and so on.

I like headphones that are oriented toward vocals, im not a huge fan of bass, I usually listen to alternative. Mostly Three Days Grace, Skillet, Breaking Benjamin etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the bowers and wilkins p7 and mostly liked the sound of the denon adh-600. Although those headphones sound pretty different. So yeah, any headphones that are detailed, geared toward vocals, airy and fairly durable should do the trick.

And open headphones are fine too? If so, the Philips SHP9500 is very airy. Super-comfortable and affordable too.
 
The Yamaha HPH-MT220 (a studio monitor headphone) has an MSRP of $399, but is currently available for $150. That's a great value, but I haven't heard it myself.
 
(The P7 is $400, so not within the parameters you set in the first post.)

Of the cans in my collection...
Senn HD558 foam modded.  Punches well above its price point new or used.
SennGrado with G-cush pads.  If you use the OEM Grado OFC cables and don't go the woody route you'll have an outstanding ~$125 headphone.  Even if you go the woody route, you've still got an EXCELLENT looking and sounding phone for around $200.
 
Headphones that I have liked, but fell short of making this list are the K701/2, HD580 due to their amplification needs.

x2... with L-cush pads it scales up very nicely for the $$.

Definitely scale higher with the (L) cushions…but even "stock" they're a tremendous value.
