Best Headphones for about 150?

Arghus

I've been down the rabbit hole of the internet looking at this question over the last couple of days. And if there's anything sure to fry your head it's reading about headphones for hours on end

Basically I'm looking for something that mixes functionality and comfort - nothing too big and showy, not interested in oversized 'phones - with good quality clear and balanced sound and because I'll be doing the vast, vast majority of my music listening through my phone, while on the move, doesn't require an enormous amount of power to sound good. Has to be wired and I'd have a preference towards over ear, but it's not a deal breaker.

Easy, right? Right....?

My budget would be about 150, but maybe it could stretch to 200 at a push. I realise at that price I won't get absolutely mind-blowing audio, but there surely has to be something worth considering within that range.

I own a pair of Sennheiser 650's and they are really good, but strictly for home use. I also own some 4.30's which are pretty damn good, but they have a pronounced emphasis on bass; I'm searching for something close with more neutral character and more fidelty to how the music is supposed to sound

AllForIt

I think you would like the Sony MDR-1A. Their best quality is that they are very comfortable indeed and lightweight. They look smart rather than brash if that matters. Soundstage is very good for closed cans. They are light on bass but I think that's what you want. They are very detailed to my ear. I listen to all kinds of music and I would say they are best for classical and movie soundtracks, not the best if you want thumping bass. They have been out a few years now and have come down in price a good bit.

I have quite a few headphones including the ones above. 
Any of the 3 will suit your needs, with the Fostex being the best sounding, least comfortable and hardest to drive. 
The Fostex are semi open, the Phillips are open and the Audio-Technica are closed. 
They would all be considered more or less balanced, while maintaining musicality. I have the Phillips X2 also, but there's no noticable difference for the extra price and I find them too heavy these days.
