My current headphones are the Sony MDR XB450 .I plan to upgrade but I don't know which headphones should I get.The Sonys I have offer a little bass kick,but I don't think I can get the most of them because I don't listen to bass heavy music.I have a screenshot of my music here.Based on this kind of music which headphones should I get?Also I am planning to use them mostly on my iPhone 6S and maybe later on get an amp.Should I go for sound clarity or bass?I am thinking of choosing between VMODA or Sennheiser hd 500 series.

Soundmagic HP200 should work quite well, you can read about it here:

You are comparing apple to oranges.
V-Modas are relatively bassy and portable closed back headphones
Sennheiser HD500 series is about neutralish open back headphones designed for home use.
 
I suggested the Soundmagic HP200 because it will be a better match for your music. Open sound like the Sennheisers but more lively.
