Definitely HD202. They are very durable and good VHM.
But I must remind you that the music is slightly on the darker side and not bright. Might depend upon your taste of music. Can be irritating when used for prolonged period because of Bass. Some find Hd202 boring but seeing their current price they are definitely good vhm. IMO they are slow poison, the more you use them the better you'll appreciate them.

shp2700 is the best vfm.. but warranty is a issue.. only 6months in India.

Andyou should consider hd201. I have a pair and they are pretty good for the price. SQ is same as HD202 surprisingly and even slightly better.

I've been a user of Senheiser HD 202 for past 10 months without any issue. The earcups aren't torn, the wires are long enough to relax on bed and listen to music. Good amount of Bass and is a great pair of cups for gaming.

Add to that a Asus Xonar DG 5.1 sound card, it'll be a cherry on cake.
