Okay, so my budget is $500 or 40,000 yen since I live here in Japan I can stretch my budget but please keep it to minimum.
 
I will be using it for portable music player and a great bass will be appreciable. 
I listen mostly to rock, alternative rock and some hip-hop few on slow musics.
Design is also important since I will take the headphones out some portability would be nice too.
 
any suggestion?

Dont need to stretch it...
 
AKG 420s are brilliant....
 
or the AiAiAi Tracks (more bass)

Check out the D2000, My music library is similar to yours and I absolutely love them.
I had the MarkL mod done on them since I'm not much of a basshead but the bass is still quite impressive.
There are certainly more portable headphones than these but I've had no problem so far travelling with them as they are extremely light unlike other full sized headphones.

Lucky you!!  Audio Technicas are made in JAPAN!!  lol
 
Try the ATH m50   or ATH AD700
 
the AKG 420's sound good and feel very very good on your head and ears...

Save some money, just get the CALs (Creative Aurvana Live), good sound and not to big.

I bought the CALs used off eBay, they compared well with my ATH-AD700 and DT 770 80-Ohm while using a Muse 6922Eh hybrid tube amp.
Gave the CALs to my sister as she needed good headphone to use with her iphone,
Two days later I was trying to figure out how to get the CALs back from my sister.
