I'm trying to find a headphone that has a really clear sound, deep bass, quick and defined treble, large soundstage that sounds 3d, great isolation, 100-200$.
 
I prefer Audio Technica headphones if it matches the spec I want.

Heya,
 
No AudioTechnica in your price range does what you want. The M50 is the closest thing, but it's sound stage is cramped and tiny. The other AudioTechnica's, like the A700 and A900 don't have very good bass either, and their sound stages are decent, but not huge, but also don't really isolate that well.
 
The Ultrasone HFI 580 would be more like what you described.
Denon D2000 would be close to what you want too, but a wee bit over your max budget.
 
Very best,

You're asking too much.
 
Either bright (treble)
Or Dark (bass)
 
ATH-A700/A900
 
That's about the best you'll find.

I agree with AD 700, just great


I said A700
 
The AD700 has a little more soundstage, but the A700 can back up more genres and is more useful

Hey, I have a question. I got 3 headphones in mind.
ATH-PRO700MK2, ATH-A700, ATH-A900
Which should I pick???



Pro700mk2, it's alright.
 
A700 would be nice
 
A900 would be better.
 
If you want more bass, go Pro, If you want more genre choices like rock or possibly gaming, A700, if you better everything from a A700, go A900

A used-like new Denon D2000 for around 200usd will probably give you the best all around of all that, but the thing you'll sacrifice the most on is isolation.  Unless you're coming off a Beyerdynamic, AKG or Audio Technica Dynamic Air series and a couple others, their soundstaging would put a lot of things to shame.  They are some of the deepest cans I've ever heard, even when directly compared to other bass monsters, and their sound is pretty clear for a closed headphone.  The only way to get better soundstaging and clarity would be to go on a couple key opened cans, but then you lose out on isolation and strength in the low, low end.
 
The denons are good all-arounders.  If you're looking for something halfway portable though, well, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.

If you're interested, go to J&R website, order denon ahd2000 via phone (200$) then ask for the labor day coupon (-$15) =>
Sub Total$      184.99
                                                     Ship<UP >$        8.15
                                                       TAX<0.00>$        0.00
                                                           TOTAL$      193.14
just ordered mine today. But they're out of stock atm, will take 2 weeks to get them from denon and 1 week delivery = 3 weeks total wait if you're patient lol.
