Hyper X Cloud. I'm just guessing the budget, next time add a budget.

Either that you mentioned would work well with those genres. The Custom One Pro will achieve more bass, especially with the adjustable bass port.

Yes.

 

Comparing that headSET to the headPHONES in the OP is dumb. End of discussion.

For a daily driver, it may need to be closed, but idk. If it can leak sound, those two are pretty great, but the he400 will also need an amp for it to really be driven.

For edm and PPP I think the v moda m100 is an easy winner for closed back headphones.

For open the x2 is Also very good
