All purpous closed-back headphones - music, gaming, voice chat. Portability is not a priority, but would be nice.
Looking for decent soundstage / instrument seperation. I know its hard to do on closed headphones, so thats why I'm only asking for decent.
Want it to be mostly neutral, since my music tastes really vary (rap, soft-rock, rock, country, chillstep, jazz, pop, etc, pretty much everything except harsh dubstep, heavy metal, and aggressive rock), but I also really want vocals to shine on it. Punchy sub-bass - bass would also be nice if I'm not asking for too much.
Comfort - On days off, I'll be on my computer sometimes over 8 hours. Comfort is a must.
Build quality should be good. I tend to drop my headphones quite a bit. Detachable cable would be very much prefered, since I have the V-Moda's mic cable with me.
I have the Asus Xonar soundcard, so I can use headphones up to around 80 Ohms no problem. Other than that, price of amp should be considered too.
I returned my Soundmagic HP150 recently due to very bad build quality on the rotating piece holding the cups, the lack of bass, and the bulkyness of it in general made it look stupid in public. (Returned it for mainly the first reason, since it broke). But the mids, upper-mids, highs, vocals, and especially the soundstage was very nice on those cans.
Keep in mind I live in Canada. We get pretty ****ty deals sometimes, or it won't be available at all. A prime example is the HE-400 being over $600 here.
