Bassy, muddied everything, doesn't need an amp - IEM, popular, but will hurt your ears after a while. Not good for a only headphone, only portable please - Great sound, great comfort, cheaper, but strong construction. Best value in the bunch, $180 call up J&R and worth $400  - Cheaper in group, good for all around and first headphone. Good for portable and home. Needs new pad though, get G-cush for around and L-cush for on ear DO NOT NEED AMP - meh, good balance but I rate my headphones on shure. You get what you paid for, but they are good at all the aspects. Not too portable. and might need an amp

Oh then for those it's not a problem at all, I meant for real bass music - Trance like http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/53428158/file.html

where having a huge bass makes it AWESOME. It's good bass, but not WHOA but it does give you that "full" feeling and the vocals on the TF10 are WORTH IT , never heard em sound better than on those.

Dude, for hard rock and metal? Grados all the way no question at all.

For classic rock, the best midrange and most refined sound around? Get the Shures!

Beyond that get the m50 for an all rounder or an Ultrasone for fun, absolutely solid choices as well!

grado all the way. also, as an avid trance listener. screw having a bunch of bass. anyways back to rock. the grado for sure

LOL WHAT?! The avid trance listener says "screw having a bunch of bass"

Go kill yourself now please.

yeah, im not a bass head. lots of bass is nice but its not the thing I think matters the most to trance. there is no need to make this personal. chill

I personally don't see ANY redeeming qualities trance has besides giving you lots of visceral bass (and with headphones that's already near impossible to produce compared to full-sized speaker arrays)  Same goes for that dubstep mess.
