Looking for a balanced sound for now.
I am listening to my DT1350 right now and they will fit your needs. You should watch Tyll's video on them he raves about them. They are balanced and are not as bright as my other beyer phones. Bass is controlled and extends very low while having a pretty flat response overall.
I've tried the B&W P5s, which I liked. I liked the sweet sound, but I don't think it was quite what I was looking for.
I auditioned those twice now and I liked them too. If you like the way they sound, they certainly are comfy with that real leather... why wouldn't you get them if you like the sound?
That being said I think the DT1350 fits your needs of portability and sound sig.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I won't be using an amp, and this'll be just straight out of a portable. My ears are a little sensitive to clamping, but as long as it's at least mildly comfortable, it should be okay. IEMs are fine though.
The DT1350 is rated at 80 ohms but don't let that fool you. All beyers i have are very efficient and these are no exceptoin. I have run them nicely directly from my little clip zip player. I add +3db on the bass setting to fit my needs and they sound just fine.
