I'm using Beyerdynamic DT770 pro for years now.
I find them very reliable and rugged, quite easy to find replacement 
parts (cushions mainly).
Very good in isolation and what I hear is really what I get, and I'm 
always using them for EQ'ing and editing.
Never use headphones for mixing though. Never got anything decent with 
headphones, also the one you mentioned.
