Ok so I went ahead and ordered my player so my Cowon Z2 should be at my place middle of next week. Now I am trying to finalize my hedphone options
 
My listening needs are very broad. Anywhere from Metallica, Godsmack, All the Remains, To Classical Symphonies and violinsts, to a very Small number of country and pop, to Mariachi, to select rappers.
 
Each of which really emphasis different frequency ranges.
 
I will say the most common genre I listen to is rock such as metallica and Godsmack, and even when listening to rap I don't prefer my bass to be overpowering, I like the presence but to me it should not overpower or distort the vocalist
 
Noise isolation on these is a must as they will be my main travel headphones
 
Whatever i choose will be pairing with a full headphone which looks like most likely with be the Beyer 1350's
 
I will also be using a Sansa Clip Zip

For the music you listen to the TDK BA200 or the Rockit Sounds R-50 would be 2 really good choices and both are under $150.  They're plenty of reviews on both so you can see which one might be the best for you.

I know you have always been a huge supporter of the R-50, so why would someone consider the ba200?  Just for the additional bass? Better for EDM?
