Looking for new headphones and am willing to pay up to 250. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pros and as a first pair, i think they are great. they're durable and for what i payed, they sound good. Time for an upgrade though, and i am looking into Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. Which company should i buy from, and which company is better?

Define best company. It's very subjective and I think you should rather ask what headphones suits you for your purpose. What genres are you listening to?  

 

[mloyfa]

All genres. Rock, electro, indie, chill out, pop

I think DT990 would suit you good with those genres. They do need amp though, are gonna get that as well?

Are you OK with open cans (they leak sound and don't isolate well)?
 
What equipment will be feeding and powering these cans?  Will you be using an amp?
 
What is the format of your music and other sounds will you be putting into these cans?
 
Describe the sound signature that you are seeking?
 
Do you plan to use them outside your home?  If so, in what way & with what equipment?

I do DJ so I am looking for closed cans and something durable. The hd 25 were an option but I feel they are going to be outdated soon with options like the hd8 from Senn. The hd280 made a good impression on me so I don't know know if I should stay with Senn or explore options like the dt1350 from Beyer

I don't really know alot about DJ'ing but if you're looking for v-shaped cans I guess V-Moda M100 with XL pads could be something.
