Simple question: Which pair of headphones do you think would be best for studio use with a budget of up to 300 euros? (Resellers here refuse to order such "expensive" headphones just for me to hear them out myself. Life is hard for musicians in Greece)  Thanks in advance

Thanks everybody. I finally bought the AKG-272 Studio, I was after the Bose Quietcomforts but the dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse... haven't shipped yet, I hope tomorrow I'll be a happy not-hearing-anything-because-I-have-cans-in-my-ears guy.
Mortalengines I know what you mean about hearing loss, it sucks, I feel I'm hearing less and less, and the volume knob when I'm mixing (with monitors I mean) goes more to the right every month that passes by... I have passive monitors (Proac tablettes) paired with an audiolab amplifier, I know it's not exactly correct studiowise, but I can't afford anything else and I'm thinking that getting a pair of active cheapos would actually sound worse...
Anyway, my headphone recording problems are over, I guess. Next step? Probably a pair of microphones for recording acoustics, and, perhaps most importantly, some room work to get this lousy room reverb to stop....
