What closed backs would you recommend with a $500 budget?

Hi ASR, this forum has been very helpful for me finding a new audio interface. I greatly appreciate your kindness and knowledge.

I’m now looking to compile a list before Black Friday of potential closed back headphones to use in a home office environment.

I share the room with the Mrs. during the work day and she sometimes complains about hearing my Sennheiser HD 490 Pro open backs.

Ideally looking to keep it under $500 but if the sale is too good to pass up I’d maybe be willing to spend a little bit more.

Would love to hear your recommendations.

DCA Aeon Closed X
Austrian Hi-X60
Focal Azurys
Sennheiser HD 620S

would be my shortlist.
