You may wanna try the Shure KSM137 / KSM141. I personally think they sound otherworldly, but they are out of your pricerange. Then again, you can't really go wrong with the AKG's, they are great.
For a little cheaper, there are the Oktavas:

I've heard some people say good things about them, but haven't tried them yet. I would stay away from the M-Audio's, just my opinion though.
