I dunno, I got a pair of AKG K702 for $144 on Amazon. Thought that was a pretty damn good deal.
Had those K702 (Austrian pair, which is kinda rare nowadays). Personally I think they have an unique sound, but not for everyone. They're spacious and detailed, but also very bass light, upper mids/treble focused and somewhat "distant" sounding. Most of the people will be happier with other headphones, but maybe a 5% of them would call this their favourite one.
Yeah definitely they are going to be preference/use case specific. For my purposes I think they are probably the best choice - reference headphones for composing and mixing classical and orchestral score.
