Enough bass that you can feel it on a bass heavy song, Very clear audio, and preferably at least in the 15Hz to 22000Hz range.

dude human hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz, but that is with perfect hearing, a average 16-18 year old teenager can hear up to 18kHz, there are so few people in this world that can hear above the 20kHz and below 20Hz, so all the Hz range in headphones is just BS, unless they cut off before the human ear does.

Where are you planning on using the headphones?

Mix of casual listening to EDM and creation of electronic music.
