Thanx for all suggestions. It might be that I have a "strange" pair of ears, but B&O sound really good to me, much better than sony, sennys or AKG within the same price range. I still hold my ground that ear-canal phones are damaging to hearing. I talked to some professional musicians, who use them vastly, from thier point of view ear-canals phones are no good for those who wish to preserve thier hearing. So, I'd say it's matter of personal choice.
