Hello after several headphones try I must say that I can not find one that's for me.
Basically I want one that is durable and on ear or over ear, possibly with two included cables (so much for me as hard as a guarantee that the product ...)
Listening to various genres of music, I think now I'd rather have bass delicate, mids present good a little more present high. I like more on the clear sound among dark sound, with well present mids.

I'm a bit discouraged because I tried it and also ordered various headphones but everyone has something that does not convince me.

headphones examples try:
-Sennheiser 598se: I feel pretty dark sound, the upper bass is emphasized, and I do not like. rather, it is little too cost.
If there had been a corresponding, with better emphasis to mid-higs and less mids-bass, and more portable and economic would be good for me, I think ...

-Cleer Du. In some songs I like, others do not. There is a kind of "hole" in the central medium and unnaturally and equalization warm that I do not fully appreciated. I feel like the "dirty-soiled" sound.
As building I like a lot, the price affordable, but the sound does not convince me at all.

-Audio Technica M40X initially seemed that they were suitable for me, trying them several times, however, known that the medium is the frequency that feels less (hence the "body" of the music I do not feel well this, and the top down even more accentuated the hd 598se, and treble and high-treble is very strong and accentuated...

-Superlux 668B. In a sense, a "ugly draft" of the M40X ... Even more unbalanced. Not for me ...

Previously I had the in-ear in NuForce 700x rather delicate and with a bit too many treble and bass ... But in general,  the clarity was pleasant.

In fact I would avoid placing the sound with the equalizer, I hoped to find headphones that sound good to me, up on the 100 euro or so and with a minimum durability.
 
Thanks
Daniel

thx for answer.. But Grado are too much expensive (150 €), and  and not even has removable cables ... is there something like that I said with mids and treble present but lower cost?

  mmh, i think is better for me closed headphones, possible max 100-110 € and detachable wires

 
Superlux HD660 but bass bump is louder and extends deeper down into the bass region. Still no detachable cable for that kind of money unless you go with IEMs, but there's the question of whether they're available from a nearby dealer as opposed to you having to pay $40 shipping them from China.

Ok thanks for the various responses ...

But I wanted to avoid returning to buy IEM...
I had decided to go to the big headphones because I believe that they are more resistant (especially with detachable cable), also it is safer to avoid ear problems, because the drivers are more distant from the ear.
----------------------------------
Therefore, it seems to me that you are doing to me greatly to understand that these "Cleer DU" I possess these days, is the best that you can find at this price.
Apart from the open HP "Grado" and "Philips", where you guys have written above, that cost too much on Amazon.it...
 
I still had time to return Cleer DU, but if at this point no one gives me options of choice, I have to force myself always use the equalizer of Fiio x1 ... What I wanted to avoid consuming more the battery ...
-----------------------------

In fact, also on amazon I find very often offers "fashion" HP Bluetooth , or game headset
But a viable alternative of DU Cleer without these bass and mid-bass in the signature it seems that for now does not exist ...
I was hoping someone can give me more help ...
I see as hi-res headphone with detachable cable. Examples:
Sony MDR-10RC? AKG Y50?
too much bass for me?

If you can find a pair look for a pair of Sennheiser hd439.

  Sony MDR-7506 ?
 
Sennheiser HD 280
 
No detachable cables however.

 
I had both of those. The Sony fulfills the requirements of being bass-light with prominent upper frequencies...but it is extremely bright, harsh, and fatiguing. The Senn is unbearably uncomfortable due to the strong clamping force, and I rarely complain about that...and more importantly, it sounded completely awful to me. With EQ, though, the Sony is good.
