Best Over-Ear Headphones ~200€/220$?

Disultory

Hey there!

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Headphones, all i know is that i enjoy bass, but i'm by no means a basshead. I just enjoy thick, punchy bass, i'd be really thankful for some recommendations from you guys!

I mostly listen to Hiphop, Female Vocal Pop, some Metal and some Classic.

I don't care about sound isolation, and i'll be using them on a Xonar DGX.

Some Headphones i took into consideration already include the Audiotechnica ATH M50X, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro, Sony MDR-1A

 

Thanks alot in advance!

AKG 601's are pretty good http://www.amazon.com/AKG-601-Open-Back-Studio-Headphones/dp/B000NDJRSU but I bet @KaminKevCrew or @SSL could help you out better than I could :)

I'm not sure of prices in your country but possibly look at the Fidelio X2's or if you really want bass get the DT 990's.

Thick and punchy, well that's, like, wow.

 

DT990 or DT770 would do. Custom One Pro Plus would be good if it is cheaper than the DT cans.

DT990's are actually cheaper than Custom One Pro Plus here. Is a Xonar DGX enough to run the 250 Ohm's?

And well yea, i guess i should've worded it better. What i meant is that i really, really dont want loose bass (had Razer Electras before, god were they awful. Bass all over the place).

According to Head-fi, the DT990's tend to go a bit boomy at times, would they still be fine for female vocal pop music?

 

Thank you guys so much for the input!

I'd go for the DT770 if you can.

It's true, it's hard for me to listen to female vocals on the DT 990 I exclusively use them for gaming and if I want to listen to female vocals I have to switch headphones.
