I posted this in the sticky, but it is getting buried.

I am looking to get a better kit together for listening at work.
I am going to try and detail things the best that I can.

Source: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 -Wolfson DAC (Rooted - Voodoo sound enabled)
Pandora
Rdio (might switch back to Spotify)
FLAC and AAC

Equipment used ( * marks no longer use):
Digizoid ZO2 (Recent purchase, love this thing!)
* Fiio E6 (Not bad, always sounded overprocessed to me)
Phillips SHE3582 (Amazing for the price)
Sony MDR-210EX (I switch between these and the SHE3582)
* Klipsch S4i (The sound in these were really great, build quality... eh)
Home use - Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohm (Just to list them)

Music:
Classic Rock (Pink Floyd, The Who, Rush)
80's Alternative (The Cure, Depeche Mode, etc)
Dubstep/Drum and Bass
General Eclectic (TMBG, Adele, Fleetwood Mac)

My current price range is $600, this would be for phones and possibly different amplification. (if the experts point me in that direction).

I can be a basshead at times, but I also carry 2-3 sets of headphones with me to satisfy my craving for whatever music I am listening too.

I will primarily be in the office and listening for 6-8 hours a day. So comfort is a factor.
I am not a huge fan of, I don't know what to call it, cord around the ear style earbuds. The only pair that I had (can't remember the brand) had very thick cable and I had to cinch the headphone slider tight (looked like I was wearing a bolo tie). Hated that.

Oh great sages of the Church of Earphonics, please hear my cry!
