Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Didn't think there was enough choices for me to factor in my musical preferences. EDM/Electronica>Mainstream (Pop, hip-hop, rap)> Alternative rock. My sources will be my iPhone 4S, and my Xonar DG from my computer.
