Looking a pair of closed headphones

Hiya!

 

I travel alot nowadays and I can't live without my music while being in the car. I currently own a pair MBR-XB40BX from Sony but they're in-ear and they hurt after a while so that's why I was looking at a good pair of closed over ear headphones.

 

I also own a pair of ATH-700 and while the sound is really clear, I find the bass lacking and they're open so I can't really use 'em while travelling.
 

I mainly listen to EDM music (a ton of Trance & Prog) so a good pumping bass and a solid clean soundstage would be appreciated. I'm open minded to any brands and I'm willing to spend between 300$ and 400$. Also note that comfort is important to me since I'll be using them for hours.

 

Thanks a bunch!

If you're driving, it's illegal to wear headphones, fyi.  If you're a passenger on these trips, then forget I said anything.

Haha, no worries! I'll be on the back seat snoozing like a baby while listening to music ;). I often take the train aswell.

Because they have tight bass, and a nice soundstage (S-logic)

And the price is quite good, I'll check 'em out.

 

Any other suggestions?
