Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm
I had once wanted wireless headphones too.. but quickly realized how terrible they are in comparison to the opposite.. especially for something I love doing, for long hours, all the time.. gaming... I wore Sennheiser headphones with a long 10 ft cable for 7 years.. I got tired of it getting caught and tangled and whatever.. Bought and returned 6 or 7 different wireless headsets/phones. Settled on a coiled cable headphone. The Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm. This is the only thing in your price range I would ever substitute for over my previous modded Sennheiser headphones. You will need an amp to drive these. If you have a headphone amp, these are great. Most modern motherboards are amped.
The reason I went with a coiled cable is because it doesn't tangle, it doesn't pull.. it just chills.. I ran an extension behind my desk and up the back side.. and the coil just lays on my desk top.. it's tense enough to not let it fall down my side, or off the desk.. but it doesn't tug at all.. I don't think I will ever buy anything else. If/when these die, I will buy another pair.
An added note.. if you end up researching these, and liking them, I changed my stock earpads out for these Brainwavz ear pads. They changed the sound profile a bit, added a bit more bass, and are more comfortable in my opinion.
Apologies; I've updated the original comment to include the Thingiverse link (STL + SKP).
The pads I have right now are 100mm OD Brainwavz (55mm ID). They are just big enough to accommodate my ears comfortably; but I'd probably have gone larger in hindsight. The plates are designed for those, but easily amended for larger diameters.
I originally didn't want too much of an overhang; but looking at them fitted to the cups, they only overhang by about 4mm. They line up perfectly with the outer diameter of the cup brackets, so look completely 'stock' (and awesome on these beautiful headphones).
The cup angle cannot go beyond 90 degrees, so the pads are never knocked/levered off by their movement.
The point at which the brackets join the hinges is the only obstruction I can see that would prevent using larger pads. I reckon you could go to 110-115mm pads without interfering with that.
100mm Pads, 1
100mm Pads, 2
Without access to a 3D printer, you could probably make replacement plates with thin plywood, MDF, ABS sheet or even thick card stock. Layering up multiple thinner sheets would make it easier to do the magnet cut-outs. you could even sandwich/seal the magnets into the layers. The only problematic part would be the alignment pins.
I'm afraid I can't comment on audible differences as I've been spoiled by HD800S and the like and haven't used them for some time; but I don't recall there being a huge difference between stock and Brainwavz pads.
I don't think you can get airweave, but these might fit ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072PPPWBF?aaxitk=cGj.TySGVGHXhmnPjeUjBQ&th=1
I've been using the brainwavs pads on mine. I'll check out the mrspeakers pads though. :-)
Brainwavz Rounds
Yeah, I'm using the Brainwavz round on mine.

Looking for advice on ear pads for my new DT770 Pro 32 ohm. The 32 ohm models come with some uncomfortable pads so I purchased the Beyer gray velour pads separately. Unfortunately, they still don't feel as good as the stock memory foam pads on my 2 year old HyperX Cloud gaming headset.
The Brainwavz on Amazon don't seem to fit the DT770 too well.
The Dekonis seem to have a quality issue on the inside rim.
Massdrop has a deal right now but I can't really tell if they would have the same issues as the set listed on Amazon.
I plan to be wearing these for long periods at work (we're moving to a new office and those of us who had offices will now be in cubes...ugh) so they need to be comfortable. Suggestions?
The Brainwavz Round Pads
I don't know about the XL pads but these look like they would fit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072PPPWBF/
They match the HE-500 pads that I used to replace the pads on my AKG.
