So my budget is $200 CAD.

 

I was going to buy these:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HVLUR86/?tag=pcp0f-20

 

Currently, and basically all my life, I've lived with Apple headphones and Sony Bass Boosted Headphones (So $20 headphones).

 

I do like bass, but nothing over the top.

 

Here's the type of music I listen to so you guys get a taste of the sounds I'll be experiencing.

 

Rap/Hip Hop (Self explanatory)

 

Punjabi Music

 

And some other genres but nothing significant

 

Main PC: 4690k // Z97 // R9 280 3GB // 8gb Ram // CM Elite 430 Case // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Living Room "Console" PC: FX 8350 // 990a SLI Krait // R7 360 // 8gb Ram // HAF 912 // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Future Plans:

find a 2nd monitor at a pawn shop

Sell/giveaway R7 360, move r9 280 into console PC, buy a better GPU for main PC.

Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus. MUCH better value in Canada, no contest with the M50X. It has an adjustable bass port so you can tune it from light to bassy as desired.

Audio Reference • Cutting the Crap • 7.1 Headphones? • Audio Interference Troubleshooting Guide
REVIEWS • HiFiMan HE-560 • Beyerdynamic T1 2. Generation • Schiit Bifrost 4490 • Schiit Valhalla 2
RECOMMENDATIONS • The Audio Board's Recommended Gear

Yep get the COPP. I personally wish that I bought the COP over the my m50, since they offer better comfort and you can adjust the bass.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M
