Headphone Suggestions

I'm in the market to get a headphone upgrade:

I mainly listen to electronic/rock music with some artists being Linkin Park, I am Legion, Ghost Town, Paramore, and others

I have $200-ish budget

 

I've identified 3 possible options:

AudioTechnica QuietPro ATH-ANC70

Denon AH-D1100

Sennheiser HD 518

 

The headphones have to put up with a great deal of abuse as well (Mostly involving being used outside, and being thrown somewhat)

Thanks

ATH M40x?

Shure 440/840?

Beyerdynamic DT770?

Grado SR125e?

Sennhieser Momentum? 

 

Do you want any specific feature set/type or do you just want anything that sounds good?

Since you listed a closed noise cancelling headphone along with an open sounding pair of headphones.

You don't want to use the HD518 outside because they are open backed. You want closed backed headphones.

 

I would recommend the Custom One Pros and DT770. 

You must "Quote" to get my attention​.

Beyerdynamic DT770 or Shure 440 with 840 pads for closed and AKG K612 or Beyerdynamic DT990 for open would be my picks. 

 

Edit: You're in Canada. The Shures are your best bet because they are the same price in Canada as the US last time I checked.
