Hi,
 
 This is my first post although I have read this forum on and off for quite some time.
 
I need a pair of closed headphones for when I work with Logic Pro on my Macbook. 
 
I used Logic a decade earlier but had active near studio speaker ( Yamaha ). Now I live in a flat and don't wish pain on my neighbours, I decided I should use some good headphones. After reading endless reviews, I realised I did not have a clue what I liked and though to ask here for advise.
 
My favourite and only portable headphones I use are the Audio Technica ATH-EC700.  I bought a pair from Japan when they first came out ( ATH-EC700 TI ) lost them years later, and then bought another pair in 2014  (ATH-EC700 GM) and they sounded the same.  I have a back up pair in case I lose them:  I love the sound they produced when the foam pads were on. Without the foam peds they sounded too harsh.

So given Audio Technica ATH-EC700 are my preference for daily listening, what should I be looking at for a pair of studio headphones that excel in detail/clarity, and not too heavy on my head?  ( total sound isolated not required since I'll really be at home working ).
 
Or perhaps I could just use these ATH EC700 ear-bud head phones for working
 
My budget up to 200 eur/usd/gbp.
Use: Logic Pro  / DAW in general.
 
 
Grateful for ideas or direction.
 
Thanks!
Sophie.

Read and think KRK 6400 or 8400 may be good, but may lack in bass.  Unsure.
The local shop has lots of Shure AKG and BEYERDYNAMIC headphones I could try also.

So your into music/audio production (Logic Pro).
So you really need headphones for analyzing audio, not music enjoyment.
 
Sony MDR-V6 or MDR-7506 headphones, they usually sell for under $100.

Thanks I'll read up on them.  
The KRKs sell for less than 100 euros. How would they compare?
 
 
6400 75 eur
8400 100 eur
mdr-7506  98 eur
mdr-v6 could not find a price in Belgium.

I've owned the KRK 8400 and MDR-V6, think I liked the MDR-V6 slightly more.
But I have not used either one in years, so would not put much weight on my opinion.
 
The MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 are about 90% the same.
