Im looking for new headphones under 40 bucks. My previous headphones were sony mdr-xd100's. I want something that sounds better if possible in that price that isn't muffled at all and sounds clear with a noticeable bass response. They will be used almost completely for metal listening. what i have been looking at so far has been
koss prodj100 
panasonic RP-HTF600-S
sony mdr-xb600
superlux hd662 closed back 
superlux 681 evo. Please add any others you wish if you think they are better for the same price. Over ear and closed back is what im wanting most. Thanks

save up and get the Grado SR80i for 80-90 dollars or look for one used here on head-fi for closer to 40. 
 
EDIT: sorry didn't see the part about wanting closed headphones.

The JVC S500 it's a genre master, it does well with rock and metal. There's not a single genre i disliked with it.
