Best Headphones

I've decided to buy new headphones, and because I'm aiming for quite expensive ones, I could need some inputs from others...
I haven't decided how much I'm willing to use on a pair yet, but I've picked out some in the same price-range and put them into battles (below), and I want you people to tell me which ones wins the battles
AKG K501 vs. Sennheiser HD595
AKG K601 vs. Sennheiser HD650
Also - Is it worth it to climb all the way up to AKG K701 ?! I've read much about them, and they seem to be awesome !!
Please don't hesitate to advice me to buy some other kind of headphones. I'm open to any suggestion
BTW - I will most certainly need a pretty good headphone amplifier, and I don't know much about such, so please also come with suggestions I'm willing to pay up to 500Euro for a headphone amplifier. The only one I've found which I find decent, is this one:
