Hello! I'm also in the market for some new headphones and could use a recommendation. My previous pair which I deeply loved was a set of Beyer Dynamic Custom One Pros, but after many years of use they finally blew out.

Budget: $300
Source: wired 3.5mm jack, usually my laptop but also sometime my phone
Intended use: listening to music while I work
Additionally: over ear design, closed operation

I bought a pair of Beyer Dynamic BT 770 Pros, but the ear cup size is smaller than the Custom One Pros and it hurts my ears so I'm going to return them. I'm looking for a cup size around 65mm or so.

e: Regarding closed vs. open back – I tend to look for closed because I share office space with others and I want the least amount of sound leaking out. My understanding is that locks me pretty solidly in the "closed" category, but if there are any good open back options that don't leak much sound, I'm open to that as well!
