I am now stuck between choices. I was originally gonna get the HD280s, but I've seen other cans and am reconsidering. Price isn't much of an object here, just keeping lower than $120 CDN.
If you know of any that are similar, but better or maybe better entirely, please post em!!!
I'd go with the Senn's or Pioneer, but you have to try them for yourself, headphones are a very individual purchase. Can't rely on others opinions too much.

go with either the hd280 pro or the sony v6...
v700dj is a SHIT series, bloated bass...
Can't you see that the original poster had set a strict price limit of $120 CDN? The cans that you're recommending both cost well over his strict price cap. For example, the HD 25 costs about $250 to $300 CDN. (I assume that he lives in Canada.) And even the Technics costs close to $200 CDN.
Moreover, even the HD 280 Pro usually costs well over $120 CDN in Canada, because most Canadian retailers don't discount the HD 280's as deeply as U.S. retailers do. Heck, even the MDR-V700DJ costs about $200 CDN there.
With that price cap, you're really stuck between a rock and a hard place. $120 CDN roughly equals $70 to $75 USD. And that won't buy you much, in the way of good-sounding headphones.

just to clear that price thing up... I'm able to ge the SennHD280s for 84.95 US, which is ~about~ $120 CDN
