what would you recommend out of the current audio GD lineup for my purpose?

I am looking to spend less than 1k total. My current collection of headphones: ATH-M50s, Image S4 IEM, VMODA M-100, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros, Sony XB700. (Sound Isolation/Bass Head!!!) I listen to electronica, rap and metal and also do a good bit of PC gaming. I currently use a Fiio E5...

so the lp/lp2 pads do fit?

Hey guys, any ideas on how to get a set of M-100 black earpads? or even a white set of the XL pads? I saw some discussion in this thread a while back but never saw it go anywhere.

Quote: Just an E5 

So then is it not a similar experience to my M50s? Would there be something you would recommend more along my criteria? 

Quote: I like the look and to my understanding they have a similar sound to my M50s.  My budget would be around $400. I like heavy bass, closed back, strong build quality, and good noise cancelling. I have a fiio headphone amp that I use as well.

Yea I am having to do some hard searching to get a pair. I'll keep an eye out in the FS section. What price do you think is fair? I think 500+ is to high. I was looking for 200-300 max.

Looking to move up from my M50s and I think these cans would be my next step upward. Any ideas of where to purchase them? Used? Anyone have a set they want to sell? 

An M50 + Fiio E5's bass boost = THUNDER     ^^ this all day. its what i use   my brother has the sony 700s on the fiio e5 and its more bass, but its just sloppy and not balanced with the rest of the music. also it leaks sound and i dont like that, <3 closed

me and my brother both have m50s on the fiio e5s. we love them man, definetely worth the 20$ it lets us drop sound volumes on the creative lab cards we use to something that is not outputting slightly distorted sound and lets me turn the amp up to compensate and with the extra bass boost from...

It was my first real headphone purchase and thus far I'm extremely happy with price/performance on these cans. I am looking for more sound isolation. Would there be a set of pads similar to these that can be fitted to the m50s?  

Coupled them with the fiio e5 and Love the hell out of the setup, my first true headphone purchase, I'm looking for a bit more sound isolation though.      Is there anyway to get some pads like these for my m50's? 

Hows the isolation on these?   also   Could you recommend a good/cheap amp for them?   The Denon's seem to fit what I want for massive bass but still being crisp for video gaming and metal/rap/trance music

From what I'm finding the Denons are best suited for me, but I haven't located a located a low price solid state amp that match them well. A second choice people seem to be pointing out to me is the Ultrasone HFI-780. From what I've read, they are a little bit less than the Denons, but they do...

What kind of amp would you suggest for the Denon's?   (one that is non-expensive) 

looking for serious bass but still good mids and highs i prefer to not have an amp. what do you guys recommend?   want to run the headphones off of an xtrememusic card for mostly fps games and listening to rap,trance,metal music   for any other suggestions I dont want to spend over $250
