I currently have a pair of Sony's (cant remember what model) that I've had for almost 15 years now.

They still work fine, but since they're old, I do get some bleeding from them into the mic when I do vocal takes.

Anyone have any suggestions for replacements around the $150-200 range?

Obviously wanting something high end and has a 1/4" input for my Motu MK3 firewire interface.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of choices. Audio-Technica ATH-M50's for one or Beyerdynamics DT-880 often show up.
Win8.1 64x/Live 9/Steinberg UR44/Roland HP 235/Edirol PCR-800/Eastman AC222/Washburn D12/Ch. Les Paul/Behringer BCF2000 & BCR2000/Korg Nanopad 2/Focusrite VRM Box/AT 2020/2xB5/E825s/Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250/Tannoy 502

Sennheiser HD650s are pricey but they are really really great headphones. I've read a ton of reviews about headphones and lots of musicians & audiophiles seem to write really good reviews about the HD650s. This is at least the pair of headphones I will be saving up for when I get enough money next.

Right now i've been using KRK KNS8400 which are about $150.00 and they have been alright. They aren't super clear though and distort a bit sometimes, but i've still been able to make some decent mixes on them.

Half-Open or closed?
Beyerdynamic... DT770 Pro or DT 880. Afaik the DT770 has a bit more bass/highs and this are closed headphones compared to the DT880 (half-open).

I personally love and prefer the DT770 Pro (use them since about 7 years)
