Decent on-ear headphones
Discussion
I wouldn't buy AKG's again.
I just had a pair of lesser K240's that stopped working for no reason after 13 months. I quick google suggests all kinds of problems since they moved manufacturing to China.
I have replaced them with a pair of these which I am very pleased with, if relatively plain looking compared with your Sennheisers

Leak far less sound than their AKG open-back predecessors and just sound a lot better.

I've been pleasantly surprised by B&w P3s, I wasn't bowled over at first but they seem to have got much better as they've been used more.
I rate my B&Ws....but don't use them a massive amount as I look like a t![](/inc/images/censored.gif)

If you can manage on ears, though, you should try some out (P3s or P5s).
The Bang and Olufsen H6's are still available on Amazon for £179. As they are £330 Normally I'd say they could be a good solution. The ones at that price do have a Pepsi Logo and are Blue but the logo is not obvious. You can also pick up Bowers and Wilkins P5's for £150. They are re-certified but B&W renew everything on them.

Have some of the b&o h6's can't see the Pepsi logo though. Decent headphone worth the deal price for the blue ones but not up to standard for full price. Admittedly only had mine a few weeks, would buy another pair but again only at the lower price and wish they came with a hard case instead of just the soft case.Edited by telecat on Tuesday 16th September 13:32
Sony MDR-7506.
Could get several pairs for your budget and still have change. Technically a US model only, but plenty of places import/sell them.
Found in many studios for a reason.
The MDR-V6 are similar ( and cheaper) if you want to look at those too
