Hey Head-Fi,
Recent joiner here and I have a couple headphones already but am looking for much more. I have the Ultrasone HFI 780s but they don't pack nearly enough punch for me and sound far too tinny; I also have the V-Moda M80s which I like a lot but am looking for an overall upgrade (and the on-ear style kills my ears). I predominantly listen to trance/house (Above & Beyond, PvD, Armin, Arty, Alesso, Kaskade, Eric Prydz etc)/most other electronic music except for dubstep. I love and listen to every other type of music like rap, rock, pop, classical etc. a lot too so I would like these headphones to be great overall and not too pidgeonholed into only electronic.
Headphones I am considering are the HifiMan HE-400 or HE-500s, Audeze LCD-2's, Senn. 650's, MadDog's, Ultrasone HFI 900 and not quite sure on the amp other than it needs to be portable and I've heard great things about the Fiio E11.
If anyone can comment on any of these or add other headphones/amps I should consider I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also, the reviews on here are stellar. Head-Fi is awesome.
Edit: I do enjoy a good amount of bass, but nothing more than is proportionally on the VModa M80s as these are borderline too much for me, though not yet overdone.
