Hey guys I had difficulty trying to choose between this three headphones. But I couldn't make up my mind because they are all good!

Can anyone tell me which is the most recommended in your opinion? Thanks!!!

MDR-EX500SL/B :)

Better for higher resolution sounds.
Also the MDR-EX300SL/B waste allot more noise, i.e people outside will be abnle to hear more compared to the EX500 and has an extreme cable...

And I just don't like the NC33. The modules in the middle just don't last in my opinion.

but thats me :)

I actually was actually going to use a different word, but i forgot it :) .

Anyhow wasted noise or "Spill" is when the headphone doesn't direct all of the sound into our ear. Instead it "wastes" the noise and those around you will be able to hear it, not relative to the volume.

For example if you are sat on a train, headphones with a higher spill level will be heard by a passenger next to you more (even if the volume was low), than it would with headphones of a lower spill level.

It generally makes you less attractive to complaints of folks when they can hear your noise but also can effect the volumes and overall quality of the headphones.

Hope that cleared it up for you :)
