thanks but I doubt senns below 5k sounds that good??

thats a wrong assumption people have about many companies including Senn's that low price means bad quality sound. The HD203 are value for the money. I havent heard them personally but as per some reviews online, they are the best amongst the lot you mentioned. As i said ATH m30 are better if you can extend your budget a bit.

Few days back my cousin got denon 310.

I'm postponing my purchase decision. Will get an audition before purchasing.
Presently eying on Behringer HPS3000 or their cheaper sets HPM 1000.
