Two headphones that I really like in this price range are the KRK
KNS6400 (circumaural) and the Klipsch S4 (in-ear). I have never used
the MDR7506, but I have owned the H2280 and I like the KRK cans better.
They are not as sensitive, but that isn't typically a problem with
mixing. The S4, when they are fit right offer the best sound of all, to
my ears, and superior noise isolation. I actually enjoy using them
while working when I would otherwise want ear plugs.
