stating some of your eclectic taste in music would probably help

From your list I like rock, metal, classical, opera and jazz plus some others and my D7000 do great job for me but I also interested to find out if new T90 are better

I have some pretty diverse taste in music and I think my Denon AH-D 7000's and HD598's do well to cover most of the bases. It's tough to find songs that don't sound good on one of those two. If you're looking for just one to cover everything...a neutral sounding can like an HD600 might not be a bad choice. Won't shine on anything in particular but it should be decently good at everything.

You need something neutral-ish with good performance.  However, out of what will you playing these cans?  Will you amp?  What is the format of your music?  Do you care if they leak sound?  Do you need them to isolate you from outside sound--if so what type and how much?  What is your budget?

$2,000 headphones. This is clearly the sort of question you should post in the Summit-Fi section of the forum.

^^^^Ditto. About 95% of people in this site can't afford that stuff.

I listen to all genres as well and I use to have different headphones, but it was taking away from my music listening enjoyment. I just want to put on a pair of cans and listen and not have to switch phones every few tracks. For me, the HD580 covers everything well and somethings great. I'm a one can man!

I've tried becoming a one can man, but I'm never satisfied.

Either was I, but I was less satisfied switching phones. I don't know anybody with good speakers who have 3 or 4 pair for different genres....

You might be surprised in this era of home theater.  Nevertheless the cost and space required for speakers is much different than for 3 to 4 sets of headphones.
