Hello all,
recently joined, but been lurking for a while. I have recently bought Philips Fidelio X2 and really like them. However, two things. One, I had to add more bass (by adding Real Bass Exciter in Foobar), which surprised me as these headphones are suppose to be "bassy"; two, my family complains about the music coming from my room at night (with door closed). The X2's leak a lot of sound.
So, I've been looking around for a set for evening listening sessions and came across Monoprice Monolith M1060C. It seems like they have it all - closed, good lows and not too expensive. The question is, is there anything else I should consider. I'm keeping the X2's, so looking something to compliment them. Budget to around $300 or £300, but less it better.
I listen through FX-Audio DAC X6 connected to my PC. Mostly FLACs. Anything really, from relaxing acoustic music to death metal (not that often these days, but I still like heavy music). Heavy thumping bass is important, but also wouldn't like them to be muddy. I like clarity in mids and highs with thumping bass. Warm but not muddy.
Any recommendations will be very much appreciated. I have the M1060C added to my Amazon basket but waiting for the price to come down a bit, so in the meantime I thought I will ask for some kind knowledgeable people in here to help a noob
Thank you

I am more of a same-day delivery guy 
I love the look of the ZMF's. They look so comfy. But less bass? Never a good thing 
Sounds very intriguing to me
