Since you already have a decent list of recommendations (and I'm not a basshead, so I couldn't recommend anything anyways), I just want to mention that your source plays a huge role in how things sound. You mentioned that clarity is a bit more important than a thumping bass. This might be obvious, but just to be safe I'm stating it clearly -- youtube rips and whatnot are vastly different in comparison to 320k MP3s, FLAC, ALAC, and all those other formats, with the latter being much preferred over the former.
Hope that makes sense...
especially if you decide to buy beyerdynamic cans like the dt 770s, they are super revealing and are picky on source, mp3 or other compressed media = recessed and veiled sound
