So I was looking for a pair of headphones and most people recommened the XB-500s. Now I am think that whether a more bassy headphones would be than a more balanced pair. I'm going to be listening to Dubstep and maybe getting in to some other genres. My budget is about 100 CAD

I've been tempted to get the sony XB's but deep down I know I won't like them that much even though I love bass. 

 

I do love my audio technica solid bass headphones though. the ath-ws55 ws77 or the ws99 its punchy bass that doesn't really sacrifice the mids

So should I wait a little bit more and get the ws77s?

I would and I wish I would have held off on buying the ws55 in favor of a ws77 or 99 but a deal came up and I had to act. 

 

I wouldn't have them as my primary headphone though they're great but a very light design I wonder how the more expensive models are in terms of build. I thnk emorarity has the ws77 ask him what he thinks of the ws77

Are there any other headphones that are balanced and still have bass that are about a 100 CAD?

Don't they always say you want a "V" shaped frequency response for dubstep?  I'd say the Beyerdynamic DT990pro is my favorite in that category.  I guess it does accentuate the "extremes" a bit, which is what dubstep is all about, right?

 

I prefer the ambiance and trance myself...

Well I don't really know much about that. To me any type of music is all about hearing all of it. That's why I buy beats. It's on the box. :P  I actually have beats but they are counterfeits from Thailand. They do well for about 50 dollars.  :P
