Take the Philips SHP9500 unless you need repairability.
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO scores highest at 8.7, but it costs 50,00 € more than the Philips SHP9500, which scores 7.0. That premium buys you repairability — 3.8 points of it. Worth it if tracking and recording describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for bass is thin and rolls off early on the Philips SHP9500.
