Closed cans for rock

Hi.  So far I've had Portapros (loved them, but they were broken in a car wreck), then a pair of SR-80is(which I adored).  They lasted about a year or two before one of the speakers stopped working (****** cables). The open designs were a problem as well, considering I mainly listen to music on the go.  So, I need closed headphones under $150 (I will get an amp at some point maybe).

 

 Which would be best for Rock/Metal (Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Queen, Yes, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Styx, Journey, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rush etc.) while still being durable enough to last for more than a year or two (Appearance and portabilty are NOT a concern)?

 

I'm currently looking at the Sony V6 and (possibly) ath m50

This question has been asked a million times. I don't really listen to those artists, or that much rock in general, but you might want to either direct the question here or seek from the already excessively vast pile of impressions and discussion.

You might have to stretch your budget a little but I've read a lot of recommendations for HD 25-1 II, if you need closed headphones for hard rock and metal. I haven't heard them yet but they are next on my list of headphones to try out.
