I use the KRK 6400's. I like the sound out of them, flat and pretty detailed. I'd say they've improved the sound of my productions now I'm a bit more used to their nuances. My main, not especially helpful, comparison is the sound from my DJ headphones, which is much more pronounced in the lower end.

My main complaint is the fit. For some reason they give me a banging tension headache each time I use them for more then an hour or so. Apparently changing the pads on them makes a difference, but I've never tried that.

^ They're a little more than £100 and rather hyped (soundwise), fantastic headphones though.
