Looking for some headphones that will make me feel like I'm at a club or massive rave.  Any suggestions under a million dollars?  Just kidding - ideally under $200 please.  If under $100, I'll be doing backflips.
 
Currently have:
Sony XB500 (with EQing, love the bass, but it sounds very close and in your face)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 (soundstage is nice, but doesn't make me feel like I'm in a club)
Sennheiser HD 25-1 II (I'm returning these to the store - I don't like on-ear)
 
The quick: Looking for under $200 over ears that can reproduce the club/rave sound.
 
Thanks

Beyerdynamic DT990.

The premium version is really good with bass and soundstage. I've used the 250 ohm version. 
 
I guess you're talking about the pro version?

Stop looking into headphones... none will give you this experience... except maybe an AKG K1000 with a subwoofer.
 
This said, bass is like in a club isn't physically possible with any headphone. You could try the DT990 which is the only headphone with lots of bass which gives you a decent soundstage... but if these fail, you reached the top in terms of Soundstage+Bass at the same time
 
(well the K240s are boomy and fun as well)
 

 
gosh, the XB series disgust me everytime I look at the fr-graphs

When you say rave, what parts of the rave do you mean? The intense chest impacts of the bass, or the deep low notes associated with them?

As the proud owner of a DT990 Pro 250-Ohm....Yes.

Check out the XB700's, they have a bigger soundstage than the XB500's.
 
The Ultrasone HFI-580's also pump out a pretty absurd amount of bass, with a soundstage as big, or bigger than the XB700's.

Thanks for the responses.  I'll look into the phones mentioned
 
As for what I meant about the club/rave feeling is the wide soundstage and thumping bass.  I may give the dt 770 pro 80's a go again, but who knows!

If you're fine with open headphones, the fa-011 would be worth a look.

The FA-011's require a really good amp. The Fiio E11 does nothing, for example. And amps for those impedances are $200+. Also they have HALF the bass of the Sony XB500. Of course that they have more definition, but need a powerful amp or you won't hear half of what they're capable of.
 
BTW, isolation is equal to 0.

Possibly the Ultrasone Pro 2900
