What's your budget? If it's around 150$, get a pair of Senn HD25-1II, just beware that if you wear glasses, it might be hurt near your ear after using this HP for a few hours. If you have 300$, then get a T50p. I never heard B&W p5, many people don't like it, but you can try it in some stores to see if you like it or not. Both ESW9 and ES10 are bad in instruments, at least worse than HD25-1II and T50p to my experience. If you hear some classical, then pass ATH.

I think it should be ok without amp.
Notice that, if you want to get a T50p, it needs probably around 400hrs run in. The sound at beginning is awful.

wish me luck lol
 
so 400 hours??
mm 8 hours each day.. mm ( wow,, 50 days?)
 


 
My way of run in is run 8hrs and take a rest for 1hr, typically you can run around 20hrs a day. Then you can enjoy it after 2~3 weeks. When you use it, it's just a process of run in. When you sleep, you can use some run in discs (if you have this), or just the music you usually listen to, and let it run in.
