M50x headphones for sure for over ear.

• In-Ear: Shure SE-215/Sennheiser IE60
• Over-ear closed-back: Audio Technica ATH M50x
• Over-ear open-back: Sennheiser HD 598
• On-ear: Grado SR 125e

Open-back headphones will give you a much larger soundstage and a tangible improvement in your listening experience, but they will not insulate you from outside noise. They're a bad match for sitting on the train, as you'll be able to hear everything. They're designed for listening in controlled environments like your room, and excel there more than anything else.

I've tried both of them, the m40's are like way more neutral, but they arent my favourite, any ideas?

It shouldn't cost too much to ship them through Amazon. How much do you get charged in import duties?

[nicobombai]

I can only do over ears:

 

Closed: ath m40x or dt770

Open: SHP9500 or Senn 558 (mod these and you will get full 598 sound signature)

 

Edit: just realized you're from mexico, hmmmm.. i don't really know about their policies so i just posted the ones under $150 according to me...

 

Note: in ears and/or on ears are not my cup of tea so i have no major experience on them.

Why not just tell us what these are going to be used for? If they're going to be used on public transport or at work, then there's no use recommending open-back over-ear headphones or on-ear headphones. If they're going to be used for listening to music, watching movies, and gaming at home, then there's no reason to recommend in-ear or closed-back headphones beyond personal preference.

It's for listening in my house, and I dont really mind if they are IE or OE as long as they sound good (and cost less than $150)

Alright, then the Sennheiser HD 598s are by far your best bet. There is very little that competes with them at that price point. Wait till Black Friday or Cyber Monday- you'll probably be able to get either these headphones for much cheaper, or much better, more expensive headphones for $150 on sale.
