All right. Punchy subwoofer-status bass, good mids and a toned down treble basically screams Sennheiser. Around this price point, I'll have to recommend you the Sennheiser HD598. It's a beautiful looking set of headphones that represent Sennheiser's famous house sound, or 'veil', quite well. I'm not a fan of the sound myself, being a treblehead, but Sennheiser's headphone typically sport a thick, aggressive sound with powerful bass, forward mids and laid-back and darker treble. The HD598 is no exception, being one of Sennheiser's flagship headphones in their audiophile line. Although it's an open-backed headphone, I think it suits your sonic preferences perfectly. It's also on the lower end of your price range, so you should be able to use the remaining funds for some sexy sneakers or an amp for your headphones.

Note: if you don't like the beige look of the 598, the HD595 is a very similar sounding headphone (also designed similarly), but in a more modest gray.

Regards.
