I haven't heard the Sennheiser, but I like the sound signature of the DT 770 Pro more compared to the M50s. The beyers do a good job with electro, hip hop, and rock imo. But neither of those headphones are what I call portable. Again not sure about the Sennheiser, but the beyers benefit more with an amp compared to the M50s. Not sure if the E5 can properly drive them though.

the e5 cannot drive a 80 OHM Headphone? so what's the point?
about people suggesting me to buy other Models,thank you but i can't go and buy them,the three models above are the only headphones in my budget that i can listen to before buying in case i wont like it.
 
thank you very much.

If you can afford the E7, then I think the DT770 pro 80 would be a great choice.  The Fiio should drive them adequately for portable use, and the headphones offer great isolation and great comfort.  As long as you don't mind wearing huge headphones in public, you'd be rocking quite the setup.

i don't have the budget for the e7,just the e5.
my budget for an headphones amp is about 25 dollars,no more.
so the E5 could mount the beyer or the Audio technica M50?
thank you

In case you haven't heard of them, I'd look at the ATH ES7 and the Sennheiser HD-25 II.  Both should sound great straight out of an ipod and they cost 200, which is the same as a dt770 pro 80ohm, but without the need of purchasing an amplifier.  Food for thought I guess.

^ ^ What a baller.  I would instantly jump on those headphones.  The next step up from the ATH ES7 I just recommended but for 20 dollars cheaper.
