I am looking to spend no more than $500 for a closed headphone, no option for an open headphone. This will be paired with an Asus Essence STX. I listen to rock about 40% of the time, trance/techno 40% of the time, and R&B 20% of the time. My library consist of 80% Flac and 20% MP3's (old songs/songs that are hard to find on CD). Some artists I listen to are:
Alternative Rock - Coldplay, The Killers, Matchbox Twenty, The Fray, Panic! At The Disco, U2
Indie - Band of Horses, The Strokes, The Bravery, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand
Classics - The Beatles, The Queens, Nirvana, Pink Floyd
Trance/Techno - David Guetta, Deadmau5, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Daft Punk, Roger Sanchez, Kaskade
R&B/Hip-Hop/Rap - Kanye West, Akon, Jay-Z, Usher, John Legend, Ne-Yo, Tupac
I have looked into two headphones, the Denon D5000 ($390 @ Amazon) and the Ultrasone PRO 900 ($399 @ Amazon). I do not know if these two headphones work for the music I listen to and if the Denon D5000's build quality (the screw problem) will be an issue. If I can get some feedback on these headphones and recommendations on other headphones that would be great. Thanks.
