I dont have alot of money to start a super rig so i just want to get some nice cans and a little portable DIY amp for around 200 all together. Maybe more if i can get parts used. I like to sit back and listen to music with my eyes closed for most rock a.k.a pink floyd but also like a nice bass for rap and electronica. thanks.

Get to a Chicago meet some time (check the meets forum) to get a taste of different hps. I like Grado/Alessandro but you may not like the comfort for long periods.

Im deciding between the shure 530 and the sennheiser 595s with a solorez recable

mini^3 + PX-100s/KSC75s

I could be happy with that combo for a LONG time

To get good bass for this music, you'll be better off going with closed headphones. FWIR, for this music and for headphones + amp, the first headphones that I would consider buying is the JVC RX900 and then mod it with Dynamat Xtreme. And then build a decent DIY amp. I suspect that combo would have a good sound stage and bump pretty well. Another option that I would consider is the ATH-M50 + a DIY amp. Edit: If wanting more isolation or portability, I would consider the HD25-1 II, despite the reduced sound stage.
