What's a very comfortable, budget-friendly over-ear closed can with good isolation?

Caveat 1: can't be something that's bass-heavy like most in the category tend to be.

Caveat 2: needs to be available for $200 or less. I'm ok with going to the used market.

I already have the DT770 Pro 80ohm, just wanting to try something else.

Thanks,
Kevin

Focal Listen, currently $149 off on Amazon, usual price is $249, though they have been available for ~$200 a lot lately.
Comfort could be better, but it's good enough for me unmodded, unlike the ATH-M50x I used prior. In terms of sound quality, it rivals the $800 MrSpeakers AEON Closed if you ask me.

Cool thanks guys. I'll look into those.

Yeah I tried the ATH-M50x once, and I couldn't stand to wear them for more than about 10 minutes because of how tight the clamping force was. I guess I have sensitive earlobes.

These DT770 are the first can I've tried that I really can wear all day long (because of how comfortable they are).
