Hey guys I've got a special order for you. Here's my needs/wants. Thanks in advance
 
Important:
-200 USD or less
-On or over ear
-Doesn't need an amp to sound good
-Flat EQ or with slight emphasis on vocals and bass
-3d sound stage (I like to feel surrounded by the sound)
-Detailed sound quality
 
Not as Important:
-easy to travel with
-extra chords/ case
-On ear preferably 
 
Thanks Guys If the price is too restrictive then feel free to add some extra suggestions but please let me know they are more money.

- KRK KNS 8400: can get fatiguing at times
 
- ATH A900x: may lack the bass you want, but very nice midrange
 
- V-Moda M80: forward midrange with very nice bass, although the treble is slightly rolled off (smooth)
 
- Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohm: Hard hitting bass with slightly recessed mids (needs an amp).
 
- Creative Aurvana Live!: Bassy with a warm sound signature
 
- Brainwavz HM5: Wide soundstage for a closed can

Might help to know what source(s) your plugging the headphones into?
 
I do like the over all sound quality of my Audio Technica ATH-A900X
and as they are only 40-ohm, will work plugged into just about anything.

Sennheiser momentum if you can stretch it.

So from here what would guys recommend as far as portable amps go. Same price range, and right now I have a pair of v moda crossfade lp's.

A Fiio E07K should be able to connect with the laptops USB port (use both the E07K's DAC and amp)
With the other two analog connection (just use the E07Ks amp).
