Shure srh940 or sennheiser hd598

Hello. I have heard hd595s a few times and own SRH940. For those genres, I would look elsewhere. Have a good read around and narrow down.
 
How fussy are you about vocals/mids?
 
HD25-1 is my default starting point generally as it does so much so well without being too fussy about source/amp, is very portable and pretty much indestructible. It won't deliver the real low sub bass for dubstep but you will get punch and impact. You'll need to spend more to get really convincing low end.
 
Good luck!
 
Best

940 has no bass, the highs are really sharp too, but they are really detailed (so they are sharp) so the srh940 are quite agressive and has good soundstage
hd598 has very good vocals and decent bass with good clarity while not being sharp, the sound is more laidback so you can listen to hours at higher volume without fatigue. only drawback is it is not nearly as detailed as the srh940 and its open backed. 

imo hd 598 is better for these genres especially dubstep where bass is required.
