Hey what's up guys.
So I've been researching for a while which might be the best headphones for my preferences. Let me give you some background first. I currently own the M50's and am looking to upgrade in terms of bass. I listen to EDM almost religiously: Trance, Progressive House, Dubstep, Trap, DnB, Electro House, etc., so you can see that bass is a very important factor. Now I'm not looking purely for bass per se, but it is by far the most important to me since I'm looking for a less neutral headphone than the M50. In particular, I want very good Punch AND very good sub bass (Basically, what will allow me to both enjoy Trance's melodies and thumpy basslines as well as Trap's 808 emphasis on rumbly bass). My research has really led me to a few things I'm very strongly considering, with respect to my budget (Trying to stay around 300 dollars but can push a little further. Definitely no more than 400).
Ultrasone Pro 900
M-audio Q40
The XB series.
I've also been looking to upgrade my amp
E11 or Digizoid zo2
My main question here is, can any of you give me a definitive answer on which is the BEST choice. Remember, I'm trying to upgrade from my M50 in terms of Bass quality AND quantity, so if a sacrifice must be made with respect to any other sound elements, so be it.
BTW this is my first post and I'm glad I finally decided to join. I have been pretty much visiting daily for the past 3 months lol.
