100-130$ Pair of Headphones

Tokeegee

I'm looking for a pair of headphones to replace my AKG K182's. I've had them repaired once already and really don't want to wait another month for a new pair of headphones. I have a friend who is also on his second pair of these headphones, and the constant breaking of them is very unfortunate, because they are very nice headphones. I Currently am running Sennheiser HD 518's that I used to use all the time, but I'd like a nice closed back pair of headphones for 100-130$ as the title says. I just want suggestions for different pairs. I really prefer the shape of Sennheiser's earcups, but I don't mind circular ones, like the K182's.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

There's a sale on the Focal Spirit One S:

Otherwise, the Audio Technica M40X is a no brainier, but you'll want to replace the pads. 

I've never seen those, I might give these a shot.
