Mostly for Trance, like for example:

Between 75-150$
 
I have my Miles Davis Tributes if anyone wants to trade/buy.
 
I like IEM's for they're presence but yeah, I prefer having the Bass of a good headphone!
 
So here are come 'phones i've heard good things about bass-wise; 
 
Sony XB 700
 
ATH M50
 
Sennheiser has a ****load of models so would like to know the one with best bass.
 
Denon D2000
 
Thanks! :D
 
Noise isolation/leakage is not a priority, comfort is but bass is most important, also love lots of textures, i love noticing details.
 
 
thanks head fi :3

The ATH-M50 are great cans for bass lovers who don't want to miss details in music. Others cans are XB700, HFI580, Klipsch Image ONE and SR850.

XB500, XB700, Ultrasone HFI-580
 
HFI-580 doesn't have as much bass compared to the XB's (but still a lot compared to most headphones), but it's a lot "tighter" and "controlled", the kind of bass I prefer with the majority of music.
 
M50's don't have that much bass. Never heard D2000's.

Hfi 580 has a faster, punchier sound than D2000. Crisper trebles, tighter bass.
D2000s are great for slower tempo electronic music IMO as theyre more laid back, and smoother. 
Haven't heard the M50s. 
 
I say 580s for trance.

The hfi has more punch and slam compared to pro900 the pro900 does excel in areas compared to hfi 580 i own quite alot of headphones the hfi for bass only along with clarity etc is fine for this music or the m 50..but if your are after a rumble in the bass to make these headphones shake at a loud volume the hfi 580.
