Hi. I am still at this after few months.
 
I bought HD600, returned it as it was not great with the airy feel. I then got Ultrasone Signature Pro and I ended up returning it as it lacked bass and was not as balanced as reviews claimed. Maybe it was too critical. It was not good for EDM. I think closed headphones would be good for me
 
I currently use Shure 846 and I absolute love them.
 
My budget is 1000€.
 
I would prefer if they could be ran with o2+dac, but I can consider new amp.

I also listen to fast paced pop, rock and metal.
 
 
I had thought about Beyerdynamic DT1770 PRO, but not sure if I would like them. I currently have bright filter on my 846.
 
 
I don't know what else to say, but I need help for recommendations. I have auditioned so many headphones and came to conclusion that open is not for me even if they cost 2000€. They all sound weird with my genres. I have bought few pairs and have not been happy so returned them. I feel really stuck.

Well, if you haven't tried any yet, the HiFiMan HE series might be worth giving a listen. Lot of people like the planar magnetics for EDM because of the fast transient response which yields great texture in bass.

The Fostex TH900 are regarded as top 3 best bass headphones in the world.. you also get the bonus of everything else sounding great too. Amazing headphones for EDM and closed back. Beautifully made.

Those are crazy powerful and they don't sound too bad either. One of the more fun things at CanJam.
