Sony MDR 7506 aren’t bad at all for the money, though personally I’d tend to prefer using a pair of HD25 even though they’re a bit “boxier” and not really reference 'phones. HD25s are basically indestructible as well.
DT880 Pro or HD650 are a big step up if you can stretch to them.

I really like the sound of my dt990s, very comfy pads too.

I've got Superlux HD 681F. The reduced bass-end model. Seem fine, about £35 from Thomann with a velour pad upgrade.

Hi, can anyone recommend an alternative to the akg 240s? Mine stopped working in the left ear, I was pretty miffed with the durability, they'd only had light, minimal use. At the cheaper end there's the Samson sr850, supposedly very good sound for the price and if they break it won't be a huge deal. Then at the upper end of my budget there's the dt990s but I've read that they're a bit boosted in the bass and treble. Maybe I should just stop procrastinating and get some more 240s... any suggestions?
