Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7

I've been using these for a little over a year, with semi-frequent travel, and they've held up great. I love the sound quality (moreso than the recommened Beyerdynamics, though obviously this is subjective). The hardware is mostly metal, which gives them a pretty stable feel.

Comes with 3 different cables, one of which has an inline microphone. Also, having a detachable cable is really nice. It's just a standard 3.5mm jack on both ends, so if one breaks (or whatever) you can get a replacement really easily.

I like my Audio Technica MSR7, and I think they look dope

Quick question, I'm looking at buying a pair of AudioTechnica MSR7s on Amazon. If I go with the gunmetal colors, the Japan Import is cheaper than the SonicPro. Is there any difference between the Japan Import and the SonicPro?

Here is the only information I could find regarding Import series, although the MSR7 is not listed: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/features/2eaff052bda10314/

Thanks in advance for any help!

Any specific outlet your recommend to buy them from?

Was looking at just going w/Amazon:

Hey guys. I'm looking for some new closed back headphones for around 200-300$ CDN. I want to be able to use them on the go.

Budget - 200-400
Source - My desktop, laptop and phone
Requirements for Isolation - I'm planning to use these on the go a lot, as well as at home, so isolation is pretty important to me.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public - Yep
Preferred Type of Headphone - I think full-sized? Something that goes around my ear.
Preferred tonal balance - Strong highs I think. I listen to all genres but having great quality in my Rock/Metal/Jazz songs are really important.
Past headphones - I currently have Sennheiser HD 558s. They're 4 years old. My main issue with them is the sound leak, lack of portability and occasionally muddy sound.
Preferred Music - I listen to all genres, but like I said earlier getting clear instruments in metal, rock and jazz are the most important thing to me.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I think I'm looking for stronger trebles and highs.

Location - I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This means that a lot of US Headphones are going to be a bitch to get past customs, and our conversion rate isn't so strong.

Despite this, I've been able to identify a few headphones that I might consider. I'm mostly looking towards the cheaper ones though.... and especially the AKG and Audio Technicas:
