Too bad you can't get an open headphone, HD600 or DT880 beat the pants off any closed headphone on your list (haven't heard the momentum, can't speak to those). Heard the others and Mad dogs & K550 are the best on your list imo. Both are very good for closed headphones but flawed. K550 are fairly well balanced but have slightly weird/fake treble. Modded T50RP are a very interesting option. Some mods can measure perfectly. But I heard one modded set that were all lower mids and bass with no sub-bass & no treble, music sounded like it came out of a long tube. Mad Dogs were much better (but mods are proprietary and unknown) but similarly had too much mid-bass & weak mids & treble to my ears. Despite this, they are the best closed headphone I've heard < $800 (or whatever LA7000 cost lol).
