Audio-Technica ATH-R70X, basically a Sennheiser HD650 but with extended bass, more clarity, amazing comfort. Incredibly light on your head, so little clamping force that I can wear them for hours with glasses.
They like an amp but your Chord Mojo should be more than ample.

Generally around $350 but about $290 shipped here.

They've been around since the mid-2010s so there is a long Head-fi thread about them too.

I had Grado SR325 (original) for many years, and while, yes, they are far better than the SR60, I haven't used them much since I got the ATH-R70X.
