My budget would be about 450 dollars for the both of them. I really don't know what to choose, this is my first foray into somewhat hi fi headphones, well I've had the shure se 215's, they weren't really comfortable for me, but pretty fun sounding nonetheless. I'm willing to consider in ear headphones, if you have any suggestions even over ear cans, I'm not really fixated on anything, I just want to make the best out of my budget. Again, I'm really ignorant in this area.
They just have to be an all purpose, somewhat portable, good sounding headphones, comfort and noise isolation are desired as well. I'm listening to a lot of genres from classical, jazz, rock, punk, hip hop, edm, ambient. I'm planning on having those for a long time so durability is also an issue.
I've considered the following:

http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-DT-1350-80-Supraaural-Monitoring-Applications/dp/B004QMH8KI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1404469830&sr=1-1&keywords=DT+1350

also the ATH M-50, although they seem not as portable.
as for the amps, I'm even more clueless, I see the fiio portable amps are a popular choice.
Right now I'm leaning towards the DT 1350 since I've read in a lot of review they are very detailed and versatile and the FIIO E17 Alpen USB DAC Headphone Amplifier, I'm not sure about the DAC thing, I've read that it's important, but I'm not certain on how necessary it is,. Also I wouldn't be able to try most of them, and I'll be ordering them online since most of them are not available at my country or they are too expensive.
They should be revealing in detail, not too boring sounding but not too artifical I guess, all that talks about sparkly trebles and bottomless bass really evades my imagination): due to my lack of experience.I know that I should try them on my own, maybe I will if you can provide me with specific ones that are worth trying and if possible it may happen.
Sorry for this vague request, please inform me if you require more information.
This is my last.fm, I'm adding it just to give you more of a clue to what I'm looking for in this muddled mess. Althought it's not really conclusive since I listen to music from other sources.
