Been looking to buy my first "real" pair of headphones, and the AD900 has been the pair that's caught my eye.
Originally it was the HD555, then it was the AD700, and now it's the AD900.
Reason why I changed from the AD700 to the AD900 is because of the better build quality and greater bass and mids.
Anywayz, I was just wondering if there were any other headphones in the AD900 price range that I should also consider.
I'll be using the headphones for long periods of time, so comfort is a must. Also I would be using the headphones for gaming, so a good soundstage is important. Also I using the cans (getting in with the lingo) for a variety of music genres, mainly:
Given the reviews, I'm worried that the classic rock and electronic music won't have enough bass depth. I'm not a bass head who craves for deep thumping bass, but I do find the bass important. Should I or shouldn't I be worried?
Thanks for your comments and recommends in advance. Oh yeah, for most part the headphones will be unamp'd.

- classic rock, e.g. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Joy Divison, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zepplin
electronic/ electronica (this is NOT dance/ trance music, but music produced electronically), e.g. Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, The Field,
Indie music, e.g. Fleet Foxes, Okkervil River
