Denon AH-D1001S's or Sennheiser HD448's?

I know my questions are getting annoying and I`m starting to make a fool of myself. But I want to be sure I will like them and not have to return them. So..

For listening to Techno, Electro Pop, Pop, R&B mainly and an even blend of the rest, which would be better? I would drive them out of my Ipod touch3g, but I may get an amp possibly in the future..

In terms of my wants and needs in order from most to least needed, I want good sound quality with okay bass first, isolation second, and noise reduction last.

If there are other headphones that are better for this price range, please tell me, but I want to keep it to these two mainly.

Thank you everyone at Head-fi for putting up with me, and I promise this is my last recommendation thread for a long while, until I save up for audiophile headphones to use at home.

Buy the D1001S. It's on sale for a short time at Headroom. Buy it with a Bithead Amp (Headroom). You can return if you don't like it.

$190 (both), if you can extend, it's worth it.

I'm not thinking about an amp right now, so straight out of my ipod, which would sound better?

D1001's I would definitely buy the amp too though. It just sounds that much better

So the D1001S's are that much better than the HD448's?

Had both. Much prefer the D1001's. They sound great without an amp. But with a amp they sound better.

Ok, I checked at the store, the Denon's sound better I agree, but what about the HD485's? They were in the back so I couldn't try them.. Can anyone help?
