I'm looking for a headphone for gaming and music, mostly rock. I like a little bass in my music and in my games too. That kind of scares me off from the ATH-AD700. I'm really thinking about the ATH A700. Is there anything else that I should look into in the price range? 
 
I'm really thinking about just spending a bit more on an Ultrasone Pro 550.

There is no particular kind of music that i love...i just listen to all kinds of music, any song that is good. But i like the bass to have a good impact but not too boomy.

If you don't need isolation, I always hear good things about the D2000. Versatile with genre and great bass.

I have a pair of dt880 250Ohms that I like quite a bit but unfortunately I believe I ever so slightly blew the right driver (long story) and instead of fixing it (for now) I'm looking to buy a new pair of cans.  I'm thinking of just getting DT880/600s however is there anything in the $600 and under range that is similar to the 880s but noticeably better?  I get a feeling there really isn't but figured I'd ask.

just found out the Denon's have terrible build quality and can be broken easily...Gonna go with the XD 53's or get the Pioneer HDJ2000 and mod them from the tut in that thread here. I think the premium in price might be worth it after all.

The SP uses an inferior driver. Not worth it IMO.
 
Also...Get the Xone 53...It's absolutely stunning. I love Denons, but I think something more rugged (that isolates better) would work better in public. 
 
They are still my favorite headphone to spin with to date. 
 
 

Since you have the XB 7000, just wanted to ask what you think has better bass between the two (I don't want it to drown every other thing in a song but I still need that boom).

Hi, I am new here. I am looking for headphones or earphones that have good bass - loud and tight. I am used to sound signature of Creative T3100 and T6060 speakers with good bass from subwoofer. I had used Sennheiser HD280Prof. It was extremely uncomfortable for me. I felt my head was getting crushed. I later got a used Denon AH-D2000. They were good for watching movies but not good for gaming. The cannons and shotguns sounds had no boom compared subwoofers. The headphones also fatigued my ears and gave me headache within 2 hrs. I can play with speakers for more than 8 hrs. I have a budget of 150 USD. What would you recommend to someone who wants to play single players games with excellent bassy music and soundeffects, listens to metal and music with beats. I will be using the headphones with laptop. I also want some noise isolation like the previous headphones I owned. I don't mind if the quality is less than AH-D2000 as long as I get better bass and no fatigue headache. I would rather buy a headphone under 80USD if the loss in quality is less than 20%.

The only reason I don't have a 53 anymore is because I sold them when I stopped DJing. I wish I'd kept them and I'll definitely get another pair (now that I'm hoping to at least make some extra cash spinning on the weekends). 
 
The 700s have more subwoofer bass but the 53s have a lot more kick and are more balanced. Bass definitely drowns out the highs on the XB cans (and some of the mids). It's much more controlled on the 53. Then again, the 700 can be had at half the price of the 53.

I have the HTF-600, the soundstage isn't all that big.

HD280 is out, but I still don't know what headphone should I buy:
 
SRH550DJ
SRH440
ATH-WS55
ATH-SJ55
HD438
HD448
HD238
 
 
 
Quote:

IMO I would stay away from the HD280s if you like your bass. Yes, they do have bass on some songs and under certain situations but it is a very sterile sound. If you want your spleen shattering bass, let alone a heavily present bass, then look else where. Also, the cord is heavy and bothersome IMO. So yes they do sound good, they just fall short is certain places. Tons of isolation though.

This will help you narrow down your search a bit--
 
I have quite a bit of experience with those 3 Senn models and I feel HD448 > HD238 > HD438, with the HD448 being better in every category compared to the other two.
 
Just one opinion.
