I am buying 1 or 2 new headphones to use with my new Cowon X9 Dap 
Me listening mostly to Kpop,Jpop,pop,synthpop/dance mp3 good quality on 99-100db
enjoy comfortable and stylish headphones
Now using Vmoda M100 outdoor, and indoor use Denon D5000 for music, Sennheiser HD598 for Tv and games.
 
Fostex TH-5W 
One of the best headphone companies together with Denon.
this is the chepest option and cable is not deteachable 
The white look very nice with my Cowon X9 white mp3 player.
Ohms 38 (compared to Vmoda M100 ohms 32).
Now i see Fostex Th-5w is only 96 DB my music collection is between 99-100DB 
does this mean i would not benefit of the volume of my higher DB songs?
 
Audio technica ATH-M50X
A very good option i prefer the Limited blue/brown leather edition
Is foldable just like Vmoda M100 and comes with 3 deteachable cables (Vmoda came with 2)
Ohms 38, 99 DB 
 
Sennheiser momentum
Very stylish headphones i kinda like the blue one
18 Ohms a bit too low but a higher volume is good too
all my music is either 99-100db or is passed through mp3gain filter to bump up by 2-3 db
maybe a lower ohms on a higher volume on 99-100db would give more distorted sound...i dont know
 
Denon DN-HP700
I found theese Denon very fascinating 
38 ohms on 100 db put them in the same range as Audio technica ATH-M50X
im quite happy with my Denon D5000 for indoor use so i guess i wont be disapointed by HP700.
 
Now if i had to choose 1 or 2 headphones for outdoor use so i can use together with my current Vmoda M100
which one would i pick?
 
Btw, there is no problem pick Fostex + another as fostex choice has a fair good price.
if i was to rule out fostex it would probaly be 1 headphones for now.
At the moment i am leaning most toward Audio technica and Fostex.
