high quality studio Headphone recommendations

[Mcrelly]

Hey,

I don't normally listen to headphones, but lately I've been listening to headphones more and more. I was wondering if I can do better than my Sony MDR7506 headphones? I went to recording school a few years back and my teacher made all the student get a pair of the 7506 for some of the listening exercises. I think they are similar yet better than the sony mdr-v6 headphones. I had a couple pairs of those before getting the 7506's.

I'm wondering if there are some other headphones that might be flatter, smoother and maybe more extended/revealing highend without being hard or dry sounding???

good yet not exagerated bass response is desired. I don't want to trade low end for high end definition.

my potential max budget would probably be around $200 USD.

thanks.
