Hi!

I am serching for headphones that are good with drum&bass music. So what is important is BASS. Deep, clean responsive bass. Not some muddy bass. Also its important that headphones block some noise. So i am looking for mostly closed type of headphones (bass, isolation)...
And one thing more. No amp. So they must be low impedance phones... I will use them outside too. No iems...

And something not so pricey. Something around 190$ or around 130-150€ (i live in EU)...

Thanks.

Take a look at the Yamaha RH-5ma.
Great bass, small, light, good to carry around. Low impedance. 1/3rd of your budget

.

Not as isolating as something like a Sennheiser HD25, but reasonably so.

I know that Ultrasone is great for bass. But which model? DJ1? HFI-580?
Any other model?

I can't speak for the other models as I not sure what their cables/actual size is like, but the Ultrasone Proline 750s weren't very walking-around portable, you couldn't wear them around the neck because they're not wide enough, and their cable was thick and outed to a 1/4 plug. Out of the Ultrasone closed range, you have DJ1, HFI-580/680/780, Proline 550/650/750/900 to choose from. I've only heard the one I mentioned so I can't really comment on their differences.

Definitely take a look at the Sennheiser HD 25-II too, and the Audio-Technica ES7s. Also, the Denon AH-D1000s, and the Equation Audio RP-21. I've seen all these thrown around as suggestions with bass and closed preferences.

way over your budget PRO 900 lol. deepest, most detailed, bass I have got yet in any headphone. Doesn´t skimp on treble either if you want high hats and cymbals as well.
