So let me get this straight
 
You have a choice of three different cans.
 
A balanced, bright and then a warm can.
 
...
 
So what's your:
 
Price range
preferences of a headphone.
 
With your choices, I would turn to more of a balance can. Denon, because shure and ultrasone would be kinda of a let down to your genres.

Price range: bellow $150
preference: bass like the akg518 but brighter and bigger soundstage. is that possible?
 
do you have other recommendation?
 
thank you

No
 
When you want bass, the soundstage lacks and then treble gets drowned out
 
Go for the Denon

Doesn't seem to be the case for Ultrasone.

Given the effectiveness of S-Logic in the HFI-580, the soundstage is very good, excellent even, for a closed headphone. Treble-wise, Ultrasone sure has a hell lot of sparkle.

The AKG has the boom, but the Ultrasone has the thump.

Okay, um...
 
A "boom" would be, as stated, a boom. As in, the bass would sound like a "DHOOOOOMM"
 
A "thump" on the other hand, would sound like a "TOOOMP"
