Default What headphones to buy?

It looks like you've distilled the list of available headphones down to most of the very good ones, but what headphone to buy?

You have selected a variety of different sized models, with the Sennheiser HD380 being one of the largest (it has big oval ear cups) and the Audio-Technica ATH-ES55 being the smallest (these are on-ear, whereas all the rest are over-ear).

If you want very portable the Audio-Technica ATH-ES55 is a great choice.

If you can live with larger, over ear headphones then the either the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Beyerdynamic DT770 or Shure SRH840 would be my choice.
