I wouldn't suggest the Ultrasones for casual listening mainly due to them being pretty big physically and with a very heavy cord thus not a good fit for wearing around outside.
Let's put it this way, the phones I've suggested will last you for years even if you're the type that abuses equipment, these things will take a beating without a sweat. You're basically paying a little more now but after 3-4 years of owning them and with them still working like they were when you bought them, you actually end up saving money in the long run.
