Depends on what you want. The ones you listed are closed backs with noise isolation, so the Sony's would probably be the closest. I have a pair of xm3's but these are known to have a bug/glitch on the right cup that comes and goes. Mine have it and the leather is peeling off the cushions so I might need to replace them soon.

For open backs I'd recommended something like the Sennheiser 6xx or hifiman 4xx. I have both and they're amazing. The 6xx is great for when you want to hear the artist pluck each string, they're warm and the sound feels like it's surrounding you. The 4xx are much better suited for electronic or stuff with synthesizers. They're my favorite pair of the 3 I got.
