My Current gear:
Source: Dell 3rd gencore I7 Laptop with properly configured ASIO Drivers in Foobar2000
DAC and AMP: Fiio E17
Headphone: Koss Pro DJ 100 ( Because of This I was forced to delete almost half of my MP3 collections....they revealed my source quality)

I am a Bass Head and I love to hear "Above and Beyond" – Bassnectar, "Titanium" – David Guetta, "Boom Boom Pow" – Black Eyed Peas ...kind of songs. So I am thinking of an upgrade From KOSS and after a lot of research I have narrowed down to 1)Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250 and 2) Sennheiser Momentum Circumaural Headphone. The first one is more suitable to my pocket but I am willing to the second too if the circumstance warrants so. My priorities to choose these are 1. Quality in Bass > 2. Comfort for long duration. > 3.Build Quality > 4. Price
So Guys my questions are
1. Will My Fiio E17 be able to drive a 250 Ohm Beyerdynamic? or should I Go for the 32 Ohm version?
2. What are my other options?
3. Which one is better Beyerdynamic / Sennheiser Momentum?
please help me out Guys...

dt990 is an open headphone, naturally their bass won't be as strong as the close headphone. you would want to go with the dt770 80ohm if you want a beyerdynamic. 
 
sennheiser momentum on the other hand would provide with more accurate, flat and balanced sound. it is also more portable to be used along the road. 
 
another suggestion that i would give is v-moda m100. this pair is pretty amazing in the bass presentation and it's pretty much a tank with metal body and all that

I have no intentions to use headphones in the out. So open and big is no issue to me. I had considered V-moda ( as i had The LPs and i was so irritated with its thin ear-cups) but is not good on comfort IMHO.
