Out of the three you chose I have a personal affinity for JBL

IMO there is a really good deal for AFG at mass drop right now and I suggest you check it out.
 
It is essentially an AKG K702 65th anniversary edition(it uses the same drivers) and it only cost $200 (it is usually selling for $350+)
 

First of all what kind of source do you have? it is plugged in to a proper amp or just directly in to the computer or device?
 
as a general rule of thumb, open cans generally sound better than closed ones though closed headphones atleast most have better and deeper bass.
 
Have you considered Philips Fidelio X1?
 
edit: As for the AKG K272, I heard that they are pretty easy to drive so you won't probably need an AMP. People from Head-fi also say that the AKG K272 has a pretty good sound.
 
Keep in mind though that closed headphones can become really hot on extended period of time usage and is generally more fatiguing. The AKG K272 also doesn't have a detachable cable which means if the cable goes bad (which happens usually) your out of luck.

If you could get the AKG K272 for under $200 and you have no problems with closed headphone then get it, otherwise the AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition is pretty much a no brainer for $200 atm as it is using a much much more superior driver and better comfort than what is available at the harman website.
 
The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition is limited to 2000 stock and they currently sold 1742 and the offer would end in 6 days so you better make up your mind as the equivalent product from AKG (K702 65th anniversary edition)cost about $500

At the end of the day, just get what the headphone that would make you happy.
 
Personally I would go for the AKG K7XX as it has better features and I can't stand using closed headphone for extended period of time.
 
That being said, AKG K272 isn't a bad product at all. In fact a lot of people are recommending it over headfi.
 
You said you work at harman, have you tried actually testing the headphones if they have some on display? That would be the better way instead of just relying on other people's opinion as different headphone has different sound signature and fit.

I love my Sennheiser momentum's, not on your list of brands thou.

Well, the K 272's you linked are currently on sale for $142.95 at Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/AKG-272-HD-High-Definition-Headphones/dp/B0012XZAXG/, so I'd hope it's even less than that.
 
I currently have a pair of  K702 Annies, and love the sound on them.  Completely open, and sound bleeds like crazy, but they have a massive soundstage due to the openness.  Music sounds great on them, and they are my default gaming headphones.  Very comfortable for people with bigger heads, but smaller heads might need to be creative with them.
 
The Q701 QJ's are also very good headphones.  They tend to be very similar to the 702 Annie's, IIRC, except the Annie's have a much better headband, which also helps with the sound.
