Which over ear headphones should I get?

Question

I am deciding between the Ludacris SOUL SL300WB, V-Moda Crossfade LP, and the Grado SR80i.  All three are within the same price range as each other, so the prices don't matter.  I primarily listen to indie alternative/rock but I also like to listen to regular rock, alternative, some hip hop, and electronic, to give you a feel of what I will be listening to with them.  I like the noise canceling capabilities of the SOUL and V-Moda, but I have heard nothing but good things about the Grado headphones.  Primarily, I will be using them in my apartment and when I am studying and using them to listen to music off of my iPod Touch.

Grado wins the other two HANDS DOWN!

If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced "fashion blingbling gimmicks" with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT!
 
Also, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.
