Merton,
The 100's & 150's are (were?) popular in the pro & broadcast industry for monitoring purposes. Personally I wouldn't call them 'refined' If anything I found both types quite tiring to listen to for any length of time when connected to SQN, Nagra or even Fostex mixers.
Comfort isn't great either - a real pair of ear vices!
Other members may have experience of them in conjunction with decent headamps and may have different views. If possible try and have a listen before you buy.

150's have a really fat bass. Too overbearing for me and yes, they do clamp your head.
A drummer friend of mind loves them for using with electronic drumkit but they may be making up for deficiencies in electronics!! (Also, he's a drummer ..... (sorry))
They are impressive to listen to at first because of the big fat sound but after a while, you crave something lighter sounding.
In studios, I sometimes use Senn hd250 which are closed and have a much lighter sound. Much more balanced. They also give the impression that they are bass light until something bassy actually happens and some real lower end thud appears without clouding the rest of it's sound which is where I feel they work better than the Beyer 150's which seem to be dominated by too much thud .......
The Senns also don't really sound like closed headphones. Really open sounding. I know that some movie camera operators use the Beyers but not sure if they use the 100's rather than the 150's. I don't like them myself though.
Ian
