Strange Request - Closed Cans Which Actively Let Ambient Sound IN.

Headphone recommendations please (for an electronica[techno, trance] listener)
All I listen to is Drum & Bass and Dubstep on my Beyer dt770/80. All I can say is "Sonic Heaven." They do all electronica just as well. Get them and a portable amp. You'll be set.- nrwilk
