So I'm looking at these and wondering if some experts can help me pin in down to one or two:

ATH-CK7
Westone UM1
Futuresonics M5
Head-Direct RE2
other members seem to like the Denon C551?

Criterias
-need some isolation but still need to know what's going on around me(I take public transportation sometimes so don't wanna be run over by a bus

)
-Comfy (who doesn't?)
-Durable. I'm carrying it around with me wherever I go so wires shouldn't break off after the 20th day
-clarity! Prefer a more neutral-sound than one that alters the sound to make it sound very happy

Bonus (it would be nice if it also met these criteria)
-looks nice (im a girl so looks count

)
-larger soundstage

Thank you!

Westone, you can't deny its comfort. I gave my sister Shure's and she put on my UM2's and she was like "dude can I have these instead?". Westone UM1's supposedly have a little lack in bass so I believe the clarity would definitely shine there. For your isolation issue... just... pick up a pack of shure flex sleeves. they are terrible for isolating.
