While the 680 is a great option for listening, I would argue that it's still not flat enough for production. But if you want headphones for that purpose, get what you like the sound of rather than make sacrifices for better production. It's better to choose which application is more important and base your decision on that than just pick a halfway point. Somewhere down the road you might be able to pick up a different pair for mixing and you'd be set for a long time.
Then my pick will be a 680 combined with E11 (I heard the 680's require an amp for better sound, as its hard to drive without one) This also fits within my budget. And out of all three, the ultrasone ones look the best
