ATH40x hands down. You will have to look in the $180 plus range to find something to beat it. My brother owns these and while I prefer my Beyer DT770, but The DT770 are a solid $70 premium over top of these which is a testament to how nice the M40x are. I really don't think you will regret the M40x at that price point. Sound leakage is minimal. Approx $130 on Amazon.ca right now. I don't think it's coil cable, but it is replaceable if you are super adamant about coil cable.

MDR7506 I recall being very comfy, low sound leakage, but you might not like the bass. Bass heavy IIRC.

I also own the HD pro 280. Good entry level cans, but IMO, I'd suggest you pony up and grab the M40x. Excellent pair if you want something cheaper to beat up, but the M40x are durable as hell too. I think you can get them for around $90. TBH I have a pair that collects dust. Once you get better cans, you don't generally go back.
