I listen to electro (mainly), EDM, dubstep, rock (not metal)(this is important to me too),

Hey there I got nice suggestion for you and it is the denon hp700's: these headphones are at a great value at $110 and these sound great to with a nice amount of bass, a semi-large soundstage, smooth mids, and wonderful treble

Well , there is the hd 439 which is nice to mess with as it is decently detailed out of the box but bass light but after burn-in and some mods they are like mini hd650's

I don't really know how to mod headphones so that's not an option either lol..
or there a simple tutorial that could help me do that? (i mean, if there isn't any risk)
 
what about the three that i mentioned? they aren't good for my type of music?

Yeah there is a tut on the headphones in this series as well as one I'm in the process of making, also I unfortunately haven't heard the other headphones that you mentioned, other than the srh840 and even then I can't make a fair judgement on that 'phone because I didn't listen to it for long enough

How much would you spend on it? Get some reviews from the amazon or google .

I would take M50, HD380Pro, or SRH840 over HD4x8/4x9.
My only gripe with SRH840 and M50 is the loose bass, otherwise they're both pretty good.
SRH840 and HD380 have detachable cables.  SRH840 has the best soundstaging of the three, followed by M50 then HD380.  Vocals will sound a little better on SRH840 then HD380 then M50.  M50 and HD380 have clearer treble than SRH840.  HD380 has the clearest, deepest, best controlled bass of the three.
If you have a pretty good desktop amp, you might want to consider the Ultrasone HFI2400, but it is an open-back headphone and will leak more sound than the others mentioned.
Bassier headphones are what I've seen recommended for the music you listen to, but the thump and impact of all of these will not feel as "complete" as HD380's and HFI2400's due to their better bass extension.
 
SRH750DJ seems like an improved Sony V700DJ from the few reviews I've read, and will have huge bass.
 
Take your pick.
