grado 325 + flat pads = <3 for everything, especially dub
I listen to some dubstep (Bassnectar, NitGrit), and I use the Ultrasone Pro 750's (and a Fiio E7 amp). They're great with dubstep and sound amazing, the impact, power, and clarity makes it great for dubstep, but when listening to dubstep, they can get pretty fatiguing. Normally they aren't very fatiguing cans, but with dubstep, I get fatigued much faster.
I think dubstep is a fatiguing music, at least the brostep variety. It's like they take the most grating, jarring noises and then grind them around. Your ears can take only so much.

Try the FA-11 (Fischer Audio). I mix and match with it and the AKG k702. It has solid bass with a great deal of impact. I'm not huge into dubstep (glitch mob, PANTyRAiD, etc.), but I find the FA-11 works really well. It's a fairly budget orientated headphone too. I think $120 + shipping from GD audiobase.
I can do this with my receiver. I have a 840 Watt Klipsch Rw-12d 12 inch. Goes to 20 Hz And Audio Technica Ath M50s Very awesomeA headphone for the intimate details with a sub linked to the same signal. Always been my dream setup.
I listen to MitiS.
He has some great dubstep. Other than that I really don't enjoy the general wub wub. I prefer EDM *most* of the time but there are occasional dubstep songs worth their own merit.
On an unrelated note, this is a really great song(which isn't dubstep) that should appease most dubstep people.
