HD600 can be had for $300. Longtime favorite of mine (and others), but...
Stretch your budget to $380 and you can rock the HD650; IMO, this is a "buy one and be done" choice, it just gets better as you upgrade DACs and headamps. But....
You should take my advice (and everyone else's) on this subject with a grain of salt. Like speakers, headphones are a matter of personal taste, and generally exhibit a "house sound". Others will tell you that Grados are the be-all and end-all, and I will not disagree with what is a personal preference. You need to listen for yourself. Hard in these turbulent times, I know; perhaps you can find retailers with liberal return policies.
I recognize that wireless is a nice convenience (I use wireless phones when traveling), but my personal preference is avoid the additional codecs needed. YMMV.
Cerebrate!
Follow Ups:
The HD600 are a long time classic. If you're buying blind this is a good place to start.
I've got them, got a good deal on them from Audio Advisor around 2003.
They're comfortable and sound really good. You can't go wrong.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Which is a private label HD-650 plus made by Sennheiser for MassDrop exclusively.
More an HD650 than HD600 and available for...
$195
Link below: Gotta register to see the $195 price. Massdrop has only sold 977,000 of them!
Best screaming headphone bargain on the internet.
