Headphones? Anyone?

First, please don't tell me about head fi. My problem is not a lack of info, it's too much. Just want quick recommendations from anyone here. Every time I think I found "it", there's one more opinion to throw a wrench into the works!
Just received my Little Dot mkIII, only to find that my good old Grado 60s have a problem. No bass from one channel. Not the amp, it works fine with other cheap phones I have. Sounds great as a preamp too.
$100 to $250 please, didnt know I would need to replace so soon....thanks.

Here's my list of recommended headphones:

Audio technica ATH-esw9a - slightly warm,organic sounding, good balance,portable,comfy, easy to drive.

Sennheiser HD600 - neutral sounding, good balance,comfy,better with an amp

Grado Alessandro MS2 - lively sounding and neutral. Good balance and less treble than the Grado SR series. Down side is not as comfy as the above headphones.

fischer audio fa-003 - similar in sounding to the Sennheiser HD600 but with more micro detail bigger soundstage and not as comfy as the HD600. One of the best bang fo the buck imo. Low in stock and takes a while to deliver to your door.

AKG 500/501 - excellent sounding and not very expensive ($150). Huge soundstage and natural sounding headphones. Could only find them on the used market. The down side is it's not very easy to drive, so an amp is a must.
