    Asian music (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

    FictionJunction are great! Though I got the stone cold album, and it has a very shrill frequency during the chorus, wondering if that's a production flaw. Would like to see Yukka collaborate with Yuki again in the future :)

    Incase Sonic

    Because the phones are made for apple users, different colour just for aesthetics, so you can mix and match colours. Think the company is a subsidiary of Apple.

    Phillips Citiscape Uptown (Question for anyone else that owns it.)

    I'm using a hippo box with the uptowns, and the bass goes from non existent to "can actually feel it", and the gain is sufficient to give it the volume boost you're looking for. Plus it doesn't mess with the clarity. Good pair in my opinion, and within your price range. not a DAC though.
