The problem is that you want highly "analytical" headphones. It's highly unlikely you'll find them at the price you're asking. Ask around and see if someone has an old pair of STAX electrostatics at a very low price. You'll need a power amp to drive them. If you can find a used pair of Sennheiser 580s, they would be a good second choice.
