I was wondering what would be a good upgrade to my Sony mdr-xb 500. Now im looking for a pair of canns that are gonna be more suited to electronic music, also they need to be comfortable, i spend most of my day with them on. Another big point for me is they need to be good for mobile use, which meens i shouldnt be embarrassed to wear them in public. Lastly the max price that im willing to go is 250$.

Try the JVC S500. They cost about 40 and imho outdo many of the higher priced headphones out there. Good luck!

So these JVC are really a step up to my 500's, and how are they better? Hows the bass also?

With a budget of $250, you can do miles better than the JVC. Are you looking for something extremely bassy like the XB500, or do you want a change in sound?

Beyerdynamic DT770-80 with a Fiio E12, or one of the Ultrasones. The Pro 900's have been discounted a lot recently, and have quite a bit of bass like you're probably looking for, but more detail than the XB500's.

Id much rather have something really bassy like my 500's. Over ear is also a must, sorry forgot to mention that.

I took a look at the DT770, definite maybe. How does it sounds with the heavier electronic like dubstep.

Try looking into the UE6000, may not be as bassy as the XB500, but still bassy enough while still sounding good compare to the XB500.

I'd echo the recommendation of the PRO 900. It's one of the sole best bassy mid-fi cans, and if you can find it for a good price it's brilliant.
