Hey guys, question on which ones among these are better in your opinion.. Would ideally like one portable pair, and one non-portable pair.

-budget
I'd say RM250 max for the non-portable, but if it's really *really* good I am willing to stretch it to around RM300.
The portable max will be RM150.

- what you currently have (mp3 players, amps, soundcard etc)
In-built desktop/laptop soundcard, iPod nano, SE(Sony Ericsson) handsfree, Sony MDR XD100.

- what type of usage (movies/ gaming/ music etc)
Mostly for music in the office, and some commuter travel. Noise canceling is a nice-to-have (optional tho), and would like a comfy pair. Aesthetics count, so would like both pairs in white (most of my gadgets are white/silver, would like to keep it in theme hahaha!) but otherwise if SQ is good colour doesn't matter.

- source (i.e. flac, mp3 etc)
MP3, ranging from 160(VBR) - 320kbps(CBR) and some FLAC.

- type of music listen to (classical, jazz, metal, etc)
Jazz, pop, rock, alternative, classical, orchestra, musicals. I'm not much of a basshead, will prefer to have details on vocals and individual instruments like guitar and piano.

- personal requirements like type (closed, open, cirumaural, IEM etc).
Would prefer over-ear headphones (regardless portable or not) since I'm not a fan of IEMs. They kinda hurt my ears after an hour or so.

I kinda narrowed it down to these, but if there are others which are better lemme know =)
