Anyone else please

I was recently shopping for budget closed headphones (~$100) and ultimately chose the Shure SRH440s which I am very happy with. I didn't get a chance to listen to the HD448 so I can't make a comparison there but I did listen to the HD280 Pro, ATH-M50, K240S (which are $100 on Amazon btw), and Koss Pro DJ100. Lots of reviews of the SRH440s in the forums. Try to demo several phones at Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Failing that, you can buy the SRH440s at Best Buy, use them for a week or so and return them no hassle (I've done this with two other open boxes no questions asked!). 
 
Also, here's a nice comparison of the HD448, SRH440, Sony MDR-V6, and Denon AH-D1001 (FWIR the same driver as the Creative phones recommended above):

Happy hunting!

thanks for your reply. I am from the UK so it may be a bit of a problem.I appreciate your efforts nevertheless.  I would say they are all over my budget looking at prices. Could you please suggest some with a lower price?. thanks

The thread gets bumped every time someone comments. The lack of definitive responses may be because there simply isn't a clear stand-out among closed headphones in your price range. Given what you want and the music you enjoy, the Creative Aurvana would be a fine choice. This thread is encouraging. There's a lot of good information available by searching existing threads on this site.

I have only researched/tested phones in the $100 range so can't comment on anything else here. As wily points out there are a ton of other threads on this topic, so find a couple options you are interested in and search on those for further opinions.

Take a look at the JVC HARX700's/900's. If you dont mind buying bulky hp's they are great.
