So what's the best headphones for electronic music?

I prefer headphones with powerful and fast bass, weighty sub-bass for this genre. Mids without sweetness and warmth - we need cold and neutrality. Highs - accurate, analytical, high detail level. The soundstage is spacious, opened wide. Technogenic presentation without so called "naturalness" and "musicality" is nice here.

A couple of cans I had opportunity to listen. Updated 21.09.2021.

I recently bought ultrasone signature dj for electronic music. I'm not disappointed. They sound great

I could call Signatures DJ the very best of the best for electronica (if I wouldn't try Abysses)

The 900 is a very unique headphone. I think the 2900 was an attempt by Ultrasone to fix the sibilance of the 900. But the 900 has more of a wow factor to it imo.
I think Ultrasone should imprint word "wow" in their logo )

You should put ZMF Eikon on the list.
I have no experience with them. What do you find in them especially synergetic with electronic music?
