Just a bit more and you can get the Superlux HD660.

I second the Creative Aurvana Live! for sound quality, but not the best build quality.
The cable is somewhat thin and fragile, so it needs extra care.
Superlux HD660 is easily the best for build quality, but definitely not for the sound.
Bass cuts off earlier than the competition and isn't very well defined.
Upper mids and treble can get a bit hot and shouty with some recordings.
Also, neither of them are really V-shaped, since the CAL! doesn't emphasize treble and the HD660 doesn't emphasize bass.
If you get lucky and find some old stock of the Philips SHL3300, that would be a truly V-shaped signature and a good balance between sound and build quality.
CAL! does sound better though overall.
