Headphones Sennheiser HD595

[fova]

Hi,

I was looking for some better headphones for my home studio since my actual ones Koss UR20 are not good enough.
I know that there are companies like Beyerdynamic, Grado and AKG but I suppose that the highest quality would give me Sennheiser. In their profi range I choose HD595 for $230 but I did not buy them yet.

Here are my questions:
1. Do you think my estimation about superior quality of Sennheiser is right?
2. Is anybody here who has an experiences with these headpones?
3. Are they suitable for mastering of music?
4. Is there any other product in the same price range that would be a better choice?

Thanks for your help

I paid about that same amount for my Ultrasone HFI-650 Trackmaster headphones. They are the bomb, the shit and the wailing ultimate as far as I'm concerned. I've even been known to do an emergency mix or two on them with good results...
