If you want a lot of deep bass, get the DT-770. Although that heapdhone has a ton of bass, the midrange and treble is still quite articulate.

If you don't want all that bass, the DT-831 might be better fit, but most people find it bright and the bass a little anemic. If open headphones are a possibility, you might want to look into the DT-931 or the DT-880.

Both DT-770 and DT-831 require a good amp.

i did a thread on this a while back.
you'll be better of with the ultrasone hfi 650 trackmaster.

For the music you like, definitely the 770's.

Welcome to Head-Fi, alexis.
IMHO, the DT-770s will fit the bill quite nicely.

DT770pro if you have an amp, Ultrasone HFI-650DVD if you don't have an amp
