They are challenging in a good way as there is huge detail and space, so it entices you to really dial the source recording. The sound quality is just fantastic.
Only downside is comfort. They do sound hifi, but so do my Neuman KH120s and are pretty similar in result.
Have owned the under £100 sr80i and £250 325e and they both do a similar job in studio.
I make sure to limit using them to short periods only as it's easy to go ear blind quickly. I also use multiple sources when referencing - regular ear phones, car stereo and phone speaker as that's what most people would listen on.
If you are just using something for practice, or general listening, you want something comfortable, and will have to adjust eq to compensate for the bumps/ cuts.
If you want something for reliable mixing, you will need to spend a little more than your budget, to get a flat response that you can trust.
I have a couple of pairs of Senn, cheap HD 280 pro for recording, and I am using HD650 for detailed mixing, but I think the 600 are slightly cheaper now, and they have done some very good editions in between.
The main problem is reliability and comfort, but both of these things are just what you get used to.
I have a set of V-moda, which were fairly expensive, very nice, comfortable things, and I have recently been trying to set up an eq that I can apply to get them useable for mixing, not easy, but it can be done.
Surprising how easy your ears get used to a sound, and it takes a bit of experimenting with reference material to hear what is happening, there are eq curves available for many headphones out there, and it's not that hard to work out what you need to do to get a flatter response, but at the end of the day- we all hear things differently.
I've been using the Rode NTH-100s. They came out just as I was starting to look and they seemed to fit exactly my needs. Excellent sound for monitoring / mixing and closed enough to have close to zero spill for using them while recording vocals and gentle acoustic sections. Recommended.

Def next on the list.
