Both the Beyerdynamic DT 990 and Hifiman HE-400I are excellent headphones. Either would serve you well at that price point. I'd suggest also picking up a pair of cheap closed back over-the-ear headphones for tracking for the reasons already given. Sennheiser HD 280 and Sony MDR-7506 are popular choices that don't break the bank. I also agree that mixing and mastering solely on headphones is going to be difficult and it's never ideal.
