When I began reading your post I said to myself "AKG 240" and then you
said that's the closest you know. They're my favorite- they're smooth and
comfortable.
The audio technica ath m50 sound terrific except they're pretty bass heavy
and they feel like a vice on my head so I can't use then. Sony 7506 are
super comfortable but sound like **** to me.
So my answer is AKG 240. Let me know if you do find something better.
I was most unhappy with a pair of K240s that I bought secondhand. There
was a 16dB dip in the response just below 4 Kc/s and a sharp 8dB
peak at 6.5 Kc/s. Both sides were similar, so it was more likely to be
faulty design than something wrong with this particular pair.
Although the AKG K44s seem to have more ripples and a small peak at HF,
they sound a lot better to me than the K240s and they fall well within
your budget. They are also comfortable and reduce room noise to some
degree.
