I've been looking into purchasing some good phones for a while now, and I've finally decided to stop lurking and come to you folks for advice. My only previous ownership of note were the Sennheiser 448. As I remember them, in my own crude terms, they were neutral and meshed well with many genre, but I do specifically remember not being satisfied with their performance in the bass department. Otherwise I was quite satisfied with their with them, everything just sounded very natural and clean, a change of pace from the mediocre cans I had used before. For my taste in music, I listen to Rock, J-Pop/Rock, Metal, Classical, some Electronica, a bit of R&B and a lot of Video Game soundtracks. I'm really not a bass-head, as I listened to a friend's V-Moda M80s and the bass was definitely too overpowering for me. It sounded great with my few electronica/dubstep/techno tracks, but everything else sounded drowned out and a bit garbled; there was no clarity. So I guess, in summation, I'm looking for cans that provide a good middle ground between what the 448's lacked and what the M-80s had too much of, all while providing an overall balanced feel that does well across genres. Thanks in advance and apologies for my wordiness.
 
Also, I forget to mention that I have a FiiO E6 amp.

Hello and welcome, 
 
You may want to look at the Shure SRH840. Not over-powering bass, balanced sound, does well in your genres.
