It's hard to imagine wanting to resemble a "mixing/mastering engineer from Mars" in the workplace (believe me, I know about this...). Wearing a pair of huge, flagship headphones would do just that - especially if you are a smaller person.
I actually like the way the Phiatons sound, and they do look pretty good when worn. They are not as transparent sounding as the better, more expensive headphones out there but they do have a nice tonal balance and are non-fatiguing over time (unlike some of the super, hi-resolution "flagship" models out there today).
Be aware that "sealed" full-sized headphones can get a bit hot and sweaty when worn for very long. If you work in an air-conditioned office this might not be such a problem, however...
Brand new Modernas can be found for as little as $150 on Amazon or ebay, around $200 being the more typical retail price. My choice would be the MS-400 model.
Good luck in your search!
