You can use pretty much whatever you want if you're used to the sound. If you are meticulous, Sennheiser HD595 is in your range, but it's open, leaking sound both in and out. Sennheiser HD280 is a nice closed alternative. Yes, I am a Sennheiser fanboy, so ignore whatever I say if you like AKG or Grado (I used both for many years). I actually use el cheapo Sennheiser EH150 most of the time now while I'm jamming and for roughing out mixes. They don't cost much, isolate well, and give a little too much bass, which I find is good when you then play back your headphone mix through speakers... the bass sounds more or less correct most times.

I love mine. Best closed ones I've tried, and not too pricey.

I'd take about 6 or 7 recommendations from this list and get the to a headphone shop. Bring a couple of CDs you know really well and audition them. Listen for at least five minutes each to get a sense of the comfort factor, especially with closed.
