Hey! I've narrowed my choice of headphones down to a few and I'd like your input.
 
1. AKG K490 NC
 
2. AKG K167 (tiesto)
 
3. Ultrasone HFI-780
 
4. Audio Technica M50
 
I was wondering what you guys think I'd be the most happy with? With most of these I can return them for a full refund if I'm not, but still.
 
My criteria is as follows;
 
I want a good "all-round" headphone that has excellent sound quality across the frequencies and not "headpiercing highs" for music like Rise Against and Kelly Clarkson, however I want them to also have a deep, solid bass for the electronic music's Sub-bass in Skrillex and Deadmau5 and so on. I'm going to use them mainly at home, and on the bus, train, whatever. I'll be using my iPhone 5 as the source for now. Might purchase an iPod to use with more HQ audio files.

So, go ahead! I'm ordering them tonight or possibly tomorrow.

When I auditioned the 780 against the M50 at Headroom the M50 sounded much cleaner and more neutral.  The M50 is capable or producing very low bass notes as long as your source music has it.
