I recently did a closed cans shootout b/w the beyer 250-80, beyer 770, and AKG K271. The AKGs were the winner. I'm really loving them, and there are a few mods I'm going to try on them as well. One involves damping the inside of the cups with bluetak. This is said to improve the bass, which can be lacking on (surprise!) bass shy recordings (The AKGs are very neutral, very source revealing). The other will be a DIY cable.At some point, I would like to try the Jupiter caps. I've already bought Auricaps for the CJ, (going to install them after I do a voltage divider mod) but I'm not sure how big an impact they'll have on the overall sound.
