Well I love using HE-500, LCD-2, D2000, PRO 900 for electronic....you could go for D7000 or even a HE-6 or HE-500. I love electronic on HE-500. You need some time to adjust with LCD-2 though. LCD-2's bass is quite banging once you take some time to get used to it. It has more impact than D2000 and HE-500. Right up there with PRO 900.
" I like nice, tight, robust bass; lush, forward mids, and unoffensive treble/highs" That is the definition of LCD-2. It took me some time to get used to LCD-2 when going from HE-500. Besides those headphones, I really don't know what else to suggest. Maybe Ultrasone Signature? Sennheiser are not suited for electronica - perhaps Stax models.
Maybe trying LCD-2 or LCD-3 again for a couple of hours......or skip headphones and get yourself Funktion One speakers
IMO the best speakers for electronic music in the world
Almost a year later, but I got the opportunity to audition the LCD-2 at a local store, using some super expensive amp. Meh, clarity was amazing, but still not worth $1000. Having never owned full-sized cans, only 535's & 16 pros, maybe I'm just expecting too much. I like nice, tight, robust bass; lush, forward mids, and unoffensive treble/highs. Open-back cans just make no sense to me, not for someone into electronic. I just don't feel like exceptional soundstage and airiness really have a huge part to play in electronic music. Definition, clarity, highly precise low-end, & the ability to not muddle everything together, those are the important things for electronic music.
Having said all this any new suggestions? I'll up the antee to $2500 for headphones & an amp. Also, these don't have to be portable, would be nice but they certainly don't have to be.
