My experience has been that $200 is just about the entry point to good sound for home listening. You may also consider the used market, a pair of Sennheiser hd600 or Hd650 may be just the thing and can probably be found for around $200. Also in that range, the AKG K701 runs around $200 new, look for them on Amazon.

+1 for a used pair of Sennheiser HD600/650
The Mezze 99 Classic are a good option for 300$ new (reasonably close to budget), or sub 200$ if you're happy to go with used. But they can sound even fuller/lusher than the above Sennheiser, so not to everyone's taste. Very confortable cans, can listen for hours.
