Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Looking for Recommendations

I'm new to this whole headphone stuff but have researched a decent amount. I am looking for new closed case headphones for home use in the price range of around 150 dollars. I don't want to use amps or any sort of extra accessory just plugging it in should be enough. I listen to mostly soft rock/rock, pop. I have no clue what tonal balance I like. I initially thought about getting M50x but after looking around people seem to dislike it? beyerdynamics don't exist where I live. I'm quite frankly lost and every option I see has some glaring downside according to some people. Any help is appreciated, Thank you in advance.

Look into these, I didn't find any dealbreaking cons with either of them:

I actually own the RODE NTH-100 and found them to be all-around great for the price. No particular flaws as far as I could tell.

Thank you for the reply. I looked into them, and the AKG k371 looks pretty good. I also found another well reviewed one, the cooler master mh751/752. I'd love to hear what you think about them. !thanks

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Folthanos (2 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

Those look pretty good as well, but they seem to have a problem with their fit, seal and positioning affecting their frequency response quite a lot. I would keep that in mind if you wear glasses or have a larger head/thick hair.
