Seeing the music you listen to, the dt990 will probably have the most bass, you'll probably like those the most.

 

I'd wait til someone like @EmoRarity or @ShearMe answers for better advice though, they know their stuff.

All of those headphones are comfortable, and all sound good. Pick your poison.

yeah the DT990 is probably your best choice out of those, it has good bass, which is usually nice for your music choice. But you will probably need some sort of amplification, so a FiiO E10 (if you can find it) is a good choice for that. a FiiO E6 could probably also work alright. Or your motherboard might be strong enough, what kind is it?

I have asus maximus vi hero motherboard

Doesn't say on ASUS' website if it has a high-powered headphone amp or not. If you're getting the DT990, just get it, and then see if it gets loud enough for you, if it isn't loud enough, then you can get an amp of some sort.

990's but see if they run on your motherboard to exceptable levels before going and getting the E10.

That will be fine; maybe not terribly loud, bit fine.

If you listen to music and especially those genres get the DT 990s they are really good.
