I have a pair SRH840s which are fantastic for most music but I find them lacking on the low end areas. Any suggestions. Price range is 100-200. Thanks in advance =)
Im going to go against the grain a bit here and suggest the V-Moda Crossfade LPs.
This was my first decent headphone purchase not too long ago, and I love them. My main listening consists of Dubstep (deep dubstep with lots of sub-bass), DnB, dirty electro, and Glitch/Downtempo. The crossfades perform extremely well for those genres, especially at the $110 I paid for them. I love the fit and build quality of them as well. They may not necessarily be considered "audiophile grade" around here, but trust me..for electronic music they are golden. Hip-Hop as well.
Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80-ohm
Denon D2000
M-Audio Q40
Sony XB-500 or XB-700
Ultrasone HFI-580
The Beyers or Denons would also benefit from a little bit of amplification.
Ultrasone HFI-580, loved them, great with fast paced dubstep but be careful; 10 feet non detachable cable... you might want to have it braided.
I wouldn't ignore the Shure SRH750DJ either, I just got them for 89 CDN and they attack dubstep / techno pretty well, slow or fast, fairly good soundstage. Very warm sound; female vocals in some techno songs feel a bit wrong to my liking (especially compared to the HFi's) but this might be caused by a serious lack of burn in (maybe). Same problem with the V-Moda LP's, but even worse, highs and mids are "meh" IMO.
Never listened to the D2000's yet, but I guess they' would all compliment each other very well.. so they are next on my "me want" list !
Any choice given here is pretty good IMO. I followed Dubstep girl's advice once and wasn't at all disappointed so..
