I have been looking at getting a decent set of headphones for while now, and I am struggling to choose between the following:
 
Sennheiser Momentum Over-Ear 
 
AKG K550
 
V-Moda Crossfade M-100 Over-Ear
 
I think V-Moda's offer the best features in terms of having detachable cables, large drivers and custom shields, fold-able design and military grade durability. However from what I have read from reviews the sennheieser's might be the better option. Which headphones do you think are the better buy? I normally listen to rock and metal music. If there are headphones out there with similar features to the V-Moda's please let me know.

The AKG's are pretty good, I have the K712 Pro's and they're very detailed in the highs but can be fatiguing but I've heard good things about the AKG K550s

Look into the Soundmagic HP150s. I would put them in a similar sound class of headphones as the K550s. However, they have a detachable cable and do not suffer from the same fitment issues (some people have trouble getting a good seal on the K550).

The M100s have a lot of bass emphasis in contrast with the K550s and HP150s. Not my choice for rock music. Make sure that's what you want.

If you listened to alot of EMD or hip-hop the M-100 would be decent enough. But for rock and metal I would not choose them. Bugdet?
