Budget - Under $200. Source - On board audio on macbook pro. Would possibly consider a dac/amp combo if it becomes a problem. Isolation Requirements - Looking to block out constant air handler noise, possibly low office noise. Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear. Past Headphones - I've had 3x HD-280 Pro over the past few years. I really like these. Two of them died when the headband snapped, and my third is now dedicated to the office. I'm looking for a set to use at home. The air conditioner in my apartment makes it difficult to hear any TV/Movies/Music, so this is my primary motivation for buying. My HD280 does a fine job for this, but I don't want to carry them to work and back home every day. The hd280 series has been very dependable for me and I like them a lot. When I first purchased a pair they were a really sweet spot for price to performance. Now that I'm looking again, I am wondering if these have been defrocked from this price/performance throne. I'm currently considering the Grado SR60i, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, and the trusty HD280 Pro. What others should I consider?

They're very different than the HD280-Pros in that these are pretty 'bassy' in comparison. I don't know if this is good or bad, but I like having some bass response! They're also pretty adequate at cancelling out background noise while still being relatively quiet volume levels. I'm thinking it was a good purchase.
