Well, if the AKG's are a viable option, I have to point out that I found the k550 on http://www.musicstore.com/nl_NL/NLG/AKG-K-550-Kopfhoerer-geschlossen/art-REC0009759-000  for €185 shipped ($240 or £150). Since this is apparently a huge discount, and still in my budget, should I consider these?

Hey everyone, I saw the SRH 840's and the HD 598's at the same price in a nearby store yesterday and I'm wondering which one would be better suited for my music style. I listen to a lot of rock and pop, a bit of metal, and sometimes electronic genres like house and dubstep/drum & bass (The...
