I truly hope this isn't an insult because I'm not following you.

Why settle for crap. The only good headphones in that list is the shure srh840. M50 is hugely overrated.
 
 
Edit: it has come to the attention this post will garner attention. I own the m50s and they aren't very good to me. They are harsh and very fatiguing and they sound muffled.

I wouldn't call M50 "crap", but I do agree with your sentiments that they are "harsh and very fatiguing and they sound muffled". So in that regard I too feel they are indeed overrated to some extent. Having said that I still think they're pretty good (not great) headphones, especially considering the price.
 
However, in the similar price range I personally prefer the sound of SRH840s, which IMHO are superior to M50 in nearly every aspect. (I was initially deciding between M50 & SRH840, and after long sessions of auditioning both sets I ended up buying the SRH840s.

I have the same problem, except I like a very wide range of music from stuff like hot chip to bloc party to black sabbath to pendulum to muse and radiohead. Which one should i go for? 
However even though i do like electro i do prefer rock sometimes metal , so if all else fails what is the best one out of these for rock?
