Hi guys! I recently bought 3 pairs of headphones, and i still can't find the one for me, so i came here for your help.
I am little bit of a basshead, i want a headseat that's got good punch, that bass kick (vibrating) feel for dubstep and other bass heavy genres, but still sound good for the rest of genres
.
I have owned the following hp's:
-steelseries siberia v2 :had them for gaming, broke in 4 months
-razer tiamat 2.2: the bass on these was amazing, but other than that, they sounded terrible.
-sennheiser hd 439: great sound, bass punch wasn't strong enough, also they weren't loud enough for me.
-sennheiser momentum on ear: amazing sound quality, bass punch still isn't enough, and while they're louder than the hd 439, i still need them to be a tad louder, also, they aren't very comfortable with glasses..
 
I listen to a high variety of music:
 
2/3 of my music is dubstep, dnb like:
 
Brass knuckles - lie to you
Red - hymn for the missing (guillotine remix)
Red - death of me (guillotine remix)
Massive attack - paradise circus (zed's dead remix)
skrillex - cinema
 
some metalcore:
Bring me the horizon -sleepwalking
In fear and faith - rellapse collapse
 
and other genres:
radiohead - creep
mind the gap - looking for the magic
cris cab - liar liar
john newman - love me again
 
My budget is about 200$-300$
 
I want a headphone that has sound quality like the momentum's, but makes the music feel more alive, fun. I want to feel the bass punch, the drums kick.. i want the music to be engaging (i don't really know how to explain xD).Comfort while wearing glasses is also a must.
 
I would like them to be somewhat portable 'cause i'll be taking them to work.
I will listen to them with my phone Htc One X, and my computer with the Asus Xonar DG soundcard. (i am willing to upgrade the soundcard, or buy a dac/amp like the Fiio e07k if necessary)
 
Here's some headset's i've been looking at:
closed: ATH-ES7, AKG 701, AKG 550, fidelio L1, sony mdr 1r, v-moda m100 ( a bit over my budget.. but willing to get them if they're worth it)
 
and, if the sound quality is worth giving un on portability, i am willing to buy open hp too:
fidelio x1, hd 558
I am still open for more headphones recommandations.
I will be buying them either from amazon.de or avstore.ro so i will be able to buy only headphones that are listed there.

You could try the momentum over ear if you liked the on ear, it's supposed to be more comfy.
Since you're clearly a basshead you'd probably like V-Moda.
 
I don't think you'll enjoy open cans like the 558 or K701.

Hmm, ok. How does the v-moda sound for non-bassy genres though? are they clear enough or they sound boomy, canned? Also, do they get loud enough if you listen from a phone? Or should i buy a portable amp ?

 

[kraken2109]

Having never used them I can't comment. I'm sure they're be someone here who can answer your questions. They might even have a big thread somewhere that you can ask in.

Ok, i've done alot of reading, and it has come down to these two, very different products.
V-Moda M100(330$) and Sennheiser IE 80's(285$).
Which one has better bass punch, more clarity and better soundstage ?

 

[GangXtaZz]

so..?

 

[billybob_jcv]

I suspect you will enjoy the V-Moda - they are fun sounding - punchy bass with some top-end sizzle and decent clarity. They have a V-Shaped, not neutral response.

Thanks, other opinions ? Is the bass on ie80 deep, punchy enough? i really prefer them to the v-moda 'cause they're more portable and cheaper.
Also how is the soundstage on both?
