I was considering getting some new headphones for games/trance.

It turns out I like my HD650 much more than my DT770, so I figured I'd try the AT headphones.

I remembered there's some popular AT headphones for trance. but I can't remember the name! They were blue I think! Does anyone know?

I have read about some blue headphones that are said to be good for trance but they are made by Ultrasone. Don't know if I've seen a picture of a blue AT.

Do you mean the A700? They appear bright blue in pictures but are more of a dark navy in real life.

the AD900's are great for trance as they have an airy type of sound and are fantastic with female vocals.

I'd say I prefer my AD700s for trance, the airy quality and somewhat bright sound signature plays well for the genre. Some people find it lacking in bass though.

Oh, and those blue ones you mentioned are most likely the A700s.

I like my AD700's for trance as well.

I think my DT880's have spoiled me, however.
the AD700's now seem really grainy

I enjoyed trance with the ad2000, but I enjoyed it even more with my yh100 and k340
yh100 is just as fast with better bass impact and smaller soundstage, mids are great on both phones
k340 has bigger soundstage but less bass extension and bass impact/speed

the dt880's were boring and generally unlistenable. I haven't heard the 600ohm yet tho

Yep definitely meant the ATH-A700s thanks!

I already love my HD650 so I don't really need another set of open headphones. I just wanted something a bit different that's closed.

Audio Technica for Trance?  Absolutely.  I use both my ATH-M50s (home) and ATH-FC700A (mobile) for trance.  I love them.

ATH - A950LTD indeed.
