Okay, so at the moment I own the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's. I love them, they have great sound quality and distinct bass and they only took $120 out of my pocket. However, sometimes the highs seem a bit too intense and I feel like I'm missing out on some bass.


 


What I'd really prefer are over the ear headphones with a good amount of bass, nice range of sound, and great quality. I mostly listen to chill electronic music and dubstep. Oh, and they need to be portable. So, pretty much anything under $300 that is better than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's.

What DAC and headphone amplifier are you using?
Or what source(s) do you plug headphones into?

At the moment I don't use a headphone amp, but I'm mostly using my headphones with my smartphone and laptop.

These seem better than both. Spec wise.

If you like more laid back back still detailed highs with a ton of sub bass, Sennheiser HD380 Pro can't be beat. Open boxes are available for quite a bargain price at Amazon warehouse deals.
Solid mids and neutral sound signature and very comfortable despite the initial clamp. Holds large ears without issues. I wear them on my drive home from work with windows open and they isolate wind noises well, which made me switch to them from the wireless ANC Momentum 2s.

Beyer DT150 and it's a lot cheaper.

edit: ohh im sorry they're no portable headphones

For the genre you listen to, V-Moda M100 would be right up your alley. If you want wireless, an extra $30 will get you their wireless V2.

I would keep a look out for a used pair of Sony Z7 in the forums. They pop up every so often for around $300 !
Kind of got suckered into to this post, I did not realize it was from 2012 until I made a response, oh well !

I'd go with a pair of HiFiman He400i but for portable closed, I'm personally looking into the Meze 99 classics, Fostex TH-X00, and Oppo PM-3
