I'm really liking my HFI-680's right now but want to get another pair of closed cans so that I can keep one at home and another at the office.  I'd like to find something that keeps many of the qualities I like about the 680's but also rounds out my collection.  I also own:

1. Alessandro MS-1
2. Shure SE-2015 (IEM's)

 
What I like about the 680's

1. Awesome clean/tight bass
2. Soundstage is decent
3. Very balanced and clear across the spectrum

 
What I would change:

1. More (but still tight) bass if possible
2. Highs can be quite harsh & sibilance is exacerbated
3. Clamping force is a bit high, and the headband pad gets really irritating after about 45 mins (practically leaves a divot in my scalp)
4. Would like to find something a little more portable and/or with iPhone remote/mic options if possible, but really neither are a huge concern for me

 
Will be listening to

1. EDM - mostly progressive (think Eric Prydz) and trance (of all varieties), a bit of house, but no dubstep (50% of the time)
2. Rock - indy rock, classic rock, grunge, jam bands, blues-rock (40%)
3. Folk, blues, bluegrass, country, jazz, classical (10%)

 
Used with an iPhone, iPod, and laptop and occasionally an Audioengine D1 (fed via optical or usb).  Mostly while sitting at a desk, occasionally traveling, in an airplane, etc.
 
Looking for something under $150 but could possibly stretch to $200.  I've considered the ATH-M50 and some v-Moda's but am not really convinced either seems to be what I'm looking for, at least for the price.  Would appreciate any recommendations.  Thanks!

I had a Ultrasone ... it was a liberation to hear the Fischer = oh, that is how music sounds
