Based on an earlier thread, I've narrowed it down to Sennheiser HD 360 pro vs Sennheiser HD 598 vs ATH M50x. You recommendations/ advice would really help. These would be my first 'real' headphones. I need them for indoor listening. Noise cancelling or leakage is not an issue as I listen to music in my room.
 
I've been advised Hifimans, Philips x1, Soundmagic etc those arent available in my country under $200 (Canada)
 
 
Thank You All

Also add the Creative Aurvana Live I to your list. I'd personally rule out the HD598, it lacks sub bass impact which is detrimental with EDM.

what kind of sound are you looking for?
Do you like extra bass?

If you can go for an open headphone, do it. Open headphones almost always have better soundstage and overall clarity compared to closed headphones in the same price range.

Is there a post here or elsewhere which explains what are all the audiophile terms such as soundstage etc? Might help me ask what I am looking for.
 
Is donscorpio a trusted brand?

Donscorpio certainly isnt popular in the US but its trusted a lot by head fi ers in the asian headphone thread.

UE 6000 for $90, they are no longer in production I enjoyed them though. They have two modes, active and passive, the active mode is fun and bassy, with nice aggression and the Passive mode is more laid back and balanced, which really makes them great headphones for EDM and other genres when and if u get into them

The Creatives are on Amazon.ca,  just checked for you. I can't comment on the other two (haven't heard them extensively).

The Creatives 2 are available if you're referring to 3rd party re-sellers on Amazon for the Creatives 1, then I dont trust the 3rd party sellers on amazon. I'll check the Creatives 2 if you feel they are better/ same.
