Phones for mixing/recording? (About $100)

[Lejnoss]

Hey,
I'm looking for some decent headphones for mixing and recording. I know it's not really ideal to mix in headphones, but I don't really have a choice.
So I'm looking for a something pretty balanced, would be good if they don't leak so much. Maybe this is contradictory, but I don't want them to be too analytical either, since I intend to use them for regular music listening too.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Guess it can't get much worse than the Porta Pros I'm using for mixing right now.

Thanks.

You can try the M-50 on ebay at $95 free shipping. For more money you can get the K-271MKll or the GMP 8.35.

i got my m50's this week & have already gotten two people at work interested in buying headphones just by letting them listen to my ath-m50, the bass is strong on these, and im sorta new to this but i do believe they are analytical...and maybe a tiny bit fatiguing as choice words often used by the grado users to which i also have no experience with. But i find them addicting to listen too, they are comfortable & simply sound amazing & i suppose with burn-in..it only gets better from here.

My vote is for the Fostex T50 RP.

Sony MDR-V6 is about $70 new.

The m50 looks pretty interesting, and would be about half the prize of what the K-271MKll or GMP 8.35 would cost. If I could get them to Sweden without customs & VAT that is.
Fostex T50RP would cost about the same as the M50 or a bit less, but doesn't seem to have as much good reviews..
As for the Sonys, how would they compare to, say the M50:s? Feels like the latter on would fit my needs better, but dunno.
