Best headphones under $200 used?

Happy New Year!
I'm a newbie to the world of headphones, but looking for a pair to run straight into my EE minimax cdp without any additional headphone amp. I think closed cans is probably what I'm leaning toward (have wife and kids). My regular setup is merlin tsms and tube amplification which I enjoy very much if that helps at all for "cans" recommendations with similar qualities. Thanks for any tips!

You can get a set of very nice Grados for that figure. Not closed models, but with a little volume, you can easily drown out the drone of others as you listen.

I can drive my Grado 225 sig's with my ipod. The Sennheisers are also nice, but for the money, they did not compare with the 225's.

Please follow up and let the forum board know what you bought/how it worked out and why.
Best of luck!

get the Audio Technica ATH M50 and the Shure 940 and decide for yourself - and sell again...

Audio Technica ATH M50 studio headphone - preferred it to the D2000/5000/7000 - does more right than wrong & easy to drive. Great Bass, Timing, Imaging, natural fullbodied timbre.
