[Yet Another] Headphone advice thread

    Hi All,
    Looking for some sageful advise or thoughts on my next purchase.
    I'm looking to buy (this week) some over-ear headphone.

    I'm looking at a budget of approx €150-200 and i'll buy online somewhere.

    I listen to all sorts of music, from classical, rock, techno, skrillex.
    The devices i'll be using will be an old ipod with decently encoded mp3s, streaming movies to my laptop and 320kbps spotify tracks to my phone and laptop.
    I also will travel a bit, so noise cancellation would be nice.

    From an initial bit of research, the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's seem to fit the bill and they're available on ebay for €154.

    Is there anything else i should consider? There's some good feedback on the Audio Technica ATH-M50 too, and they're in a similar price range but any of the comparisons seem to favour the BD COP's.

    Any thoughts or advice?

    Thanks in advance,
    MiCr0//david
