OK, so ive been listening to a number of different headphones, and am not entirely happy with any of the ones ive heard.
To reiterate: I want a pair of really quality headphones - i listen to most different genres of music out there although i would say electronica of various sorts (psy, breaks, etc) get the largest play of any single genre.
Also, would prefer closed-back - ive heard some really good open-backed ones but thats not really an option for me. Oh, and im not talking about for DJ use - most use will be done in my home.
So.
My choice has been narrowed between the Sennheiser hd25 (which everyone recommended before) and the Technics dh1200s (link below).

Ive investigated all the other DJ headphones, pios, sony etc.
My problem is that I find the Technics are slightly too bass-heavy for non-electronica music and you dont hear all the upper frequencies so clearly (although ive found them better than all other headphones bar the Senns.)
My problem with the Sennheisers is that they are too clean, too sterile. I found i can hear everything really clearly but it lacks warmth. So i do prefer a bit of bass-emphasis but not too much. I just want something in between the hd25 and the dh1200.
Sennheiser do a pair above the hd25, the hd250mk2

has anyone heard these? are they better than the hd25?
does anyone also have any suggestions for other headphones? cost is not such an issue.
also, where can i listen to them out? turnkey is ok, but doesnt have that big a range (it didnt have the hd250mk2s anyway). and i tried sapphires but they just do the usual DJ ones..
thanks for your help!
oh, sony do these MDR 7506 - has anyone heard? :
