Thank you Levaix. After seeing your reply, I read the reviews of ZMF Blackwood on this site and it seems its sound is more like what I might love. Someone even thinks it's on pair with th900 and beats Lcd-xc, which is quite interesting. So now my options might be Sig Pro, Alpha Prime, ZMF Blackwood.
How do you find its isolation and leakage? I can imagine Sig Pro must be better in this area. I bought one pair of hd600 but just found that I couldn't use it in office because of sound leakage. So isolation/leakage is a quite important factor. I don't consider th900 seriously just due to their poor isolation/leakage performance(from what I have read so for).
Portability is another thing to consider. It's not critical but will be a big plus. I spend 2 hours on public transport everyday, and currently and currently I am happy with my fx850. My understanding is that Sig Pro is easily portable but Blackwood is almost not.
To me, sound is definitely the most important thing, then isolation/leakage/portability. I don't mind adding an amp. I will probably buy one even for Sig Pro.
So what would be your option taking sound/isolation/leakage/portability into account? I know this is a subjective thing, but I'd like to hear your opinion

Sig Pros would fit the bill here, and they have the benefit of being very easy to drive. If you're okay with something a little bigger, I'd highly recommend the ZMF Blackwood. The former is a bit more detailed and has extremely extended but flat highs, and the latter has a more natural, richer tonality. I do have to say if you're okay with the size and having a small amp, the Blackwood is really an excellent option. I did end up deciding on the Sig Pros between the two, but the decision might have been different if I didn't already own them.
I haven't heard the AP yet, but from what I understand the treble is a bit more forward.
