Hi everyone!
Im looking for a cheap and very good sounding closed cans for all day use (so must be confortable) and gaming.
Music: Rock (doom, gothic and other metal genres) and Eletronic.
 
 
Today my gear is:
1 - LCD2F (Freaking perfect!!!)
2 - Denon AH-D600 (strange sound... o.O)
 
What i had in the past:
- Sennheiser HD600 (loved)
- Sennheiser HD650 (loved)
- Sennheiser HD598 (hate this model, omg)
- ATH-M50 (loved)
and others...
 
 
 
 
What i think im looking for:
1 - ATH-M50x
2 - Shure SRH1540 (not very cheap)
3 - NAD VISO HP50
4 - Sennheiser HD380Pro
 
 
 
The first one on my list is M50x because the price. The second one is shure 1540, but im afraid because i cant try it before buying.
 
What should i buy, based on my tastes? Any other recommendations?
 
 
 
Thanks for any help!

Your post has me struggling a bit. The LCD-2F are warmish, but generally ruler flat neutral headphones with excellent extension and incredible definition. The 4 headphones on your inquiry list seem to all be a bit bassy compared to the LCD-2F. Was that your intention?

you can go for a momentum . ..  i have used it in playing cod, black ops . ..   and its amazing . . . . it makes u feel the impact of everything around u in the game . . . but if u really want a perfection , then i suggest you save upp nearly 800 to 900 bucks and go for a used hd 800 . . .  hands down .  no qestions asked . . . . u will love it . ..  simply be stunned . . .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SYbrGB_rA4  
u will know . . . . i know u mentioned cheap . . .  but as u mentioned shure 1540 , they retail for 499 bucks on amazon . . . so u better save a few more bucks and go for the ultimate one . . . 
 
PS:u need a better amp . . . very powerful . . .:p

That's because im looking for a Closed Can. And i really think that closed need some bass or they will sound in some way "weak and thin".
Do you have any recommendations in closed cans with same signatura from LCD2F?

Ty for the reply! =)

Momentum isnt a "tottaly" over ear model. i think they a bit unconfortable.
And about the HD800, ive read so many reviews telling me they are bass weak. The less bass i would accept is something like my beloved LCD2F! =)

i guess the way u  r saying , you can go for ath m50x . . . seems the best bet . . . and as for the hd800, they do have a very good base . . . after watching the linked vid , i went to a planet m in calcutta , and tried it with medal of honor . ..  .  i am a student too , gamer too . . . so that was realistic like hell . . ..  halo 3 = mind blown . . .  see first u try them out at any store with your fav rap or steampunk , or rock and roll . . .if u like the bass , get it . . .  and i am saying they have good base . .  and i also used to have a mixr and solo 2 . . . (dont judge me )

How about the Mr. Speakers Mad Dog (or Mad Dog Pro) or the PSB M4U-1?
