I’m gonna +1 this one. If you can land an EMU Teak (or a Fostex TH-610, some Denon models, or a used Massdrop-Fostex TH-X00 or TR-X00) you have an excellent ~$500 headphone and have the option to do a full Lawton mod to it; a significant performance upgrade, IMO. Then you have ~$900-1100 headphone you pay for in 2 stages. Lawton does international shipping. The drawback here is the Fostex-based wood-cup closed-backs are more semi-open. They do leak sound.
