Which Headphone to go with?

[Scitesh]

Hey guyz i am about to buy my first audiophile headphone 

And i was deciding Between 

Sennheiser HD 451 (INR 3699) Also matches my setups aesthetics with black blue

Sennheiser HD 461 (INR 4999)

Audio Technica Ath M30x (INR 4499 After MIR w/o 4999)

BeyerDynamic 910 (INR 3100)

 

PS i would also be using these for Gaming as i didnt buy a headset (plan :G430)

Also favorite Artist : Eminem , Jayz , Enrique and Rihanna

Favorite Genre : Rap, Hip hop , Rock and Metal

M30x need replacement pads if you don't want ear cancer. No idea how comfortable the other headphones are, though the Sennheiser 4XX series is typically pretty average.

K so i would avoid those as replacement pads cost north of INR 1000 here :'(

I don't know anything about the sound of the new Sennheiser 400 series, but I found the flagship of the previous generation (449) to be horribad, or at least not my cup of tea. They are also pretty uncomfortable when all is said and done; maybe not as bad as the ATH M-series, though. They just never felt "right" on my head.

The Beyerdynamic DTX 910 is the only good headphone on the list. That makes it easy

I own a pair of HD439s and they're so so. I'd take them over ATH  Mx0s any time though.

The 451s have similar padding to mine, don't know what the material on the pads of the 471 feels like.  They're a little small for me, while they're over ear it's a tight fit and the fit/seal isn't 100%. The pads them self are soft and fine otherwise.  The replaceable system cable is garbage.

The sound wasn't to my taste either, try them before you buy them. Mine feels a little lacking in "body", although they were decently wide compared to HD202s and M50s and did a better job at separating instruments than those two as well. Still if I was to listen to something like a guitar, low notes on a piano or a bass guitar on them, while they don't sound bad, it just lacks something that other headphones that I own (HD 558s) give. They don't give the same focus on the decay of a note either. Male vocals similarly feel a bit lacking. Female vocals and highs are clear though, the latter isn't uncomfortable and definitely better than M50s.

Haven't used M30X so M50s are the closest experience I have in Audio Technica's range, hence why I mentioned them. (Also to give context to what I was describing)
