Sennheiser Recommendations?

I wish to purchase a new pair of headphones. Sennheiser has been decided on as the manufacturer. There is some decent equipment in the equation, notably: an Audio Alchemy DTI v2.0, a Parasound DAC-1600 and a Melos Sha-Gold. My listening tastes are pop and rock. The models for consideration are: 555, 580 and 595. Money, though not determining, is also a factor.

go for the 600. It is like $150 used and good very close to the top of the line 650. I have it and don't have enough justification to upgrade.

It's not my favorite headphone but I like it enough to keep it.

The 600's can be difficult to drive. I had nothing but problems with the Melos gear. I have the Musical Fidelity v3 and it is a perfect match with the 600's !
