I'm looking for closed Over-Ear Headphones which i can wear almost all day (at work) while listening to mostly electronic music and movie/game soundtracks etc.
 
----
 
Some criteria
 
-Price Range: under 600€
-Dry, deep quality Bass with punch/kick to it and not too little of that but i'm not looking for a Basshead or a headphone with overwhealmingly un-tight (warm? wobbly?) Bass..
-Not the kind of treble that tickles your ear but not dark-sounding overall. It's hard for me to describe but the high notes should not be too crystal, too overpronounced since my left ear has a problem with that.
-Comfortable to wear all day
 
A plus would be a good isolation
 
Another plus would be for them to have an appealing design, i would prefer a clean look and great materials/build quality. I quite like the Pioneer SE-MX9 (altough not an over-ear headphone) and the Final Audio Design Pandora Hope. I (personally!) dislike the design of most Beyerdynamic and AKGs which can look a bit to technical/DJ-ish with hinges, cables and plastic "everywhere". Buuuut if it sounds fantastic.. well than thats what counts :)

I've looked at the Pandoras (6) but i'm not sure about them. Mostly i read that they are not THAT comfortable to wear,lack in bass and should not be turned up that much/listened too loud with because the high notes can be almost painful?
Unfortunateley i have no possibility of trying them out for myself except ordering a pair...
 
Currently i'm reading reviews for the PSB M4U1 / M4U2..
 
..but i hope you can help me out and nudge me in the right direction :)
