Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations on a pair of headphones that are below $200 dollars.  I'm currently using the AudioTechnica ATH-M50x but they have seen better days and need to be replaced. So let me know what you guys favor in the sub $200 dollar market! Thanks!

I have V-Moda Crossfade LP 2's, Bose QC35, (lost Sennheiser Momentum 2), and use my M50x's for my desktop. When I consider the sound quality for each of them, the M50x is pretty much the best you're going to be getting for that price-range. I know that when something breaks/gets lost, you get the feeling of wanting to try something new (that's why I have the QC35's as a replacement for my Momentum 2's) but honestly, in this case, just stick with M50x'.

A pretty good alternative though would be Sennheiser H598's. I don't like them because I'm used to pleather pads, but I know that they're super popular and very high quality.
