Solve : Buying quality sound headphones!?

Answer»

Hello bros!
I am in the midst of buying a pair of quality headphones and would like some input from you
Here is some information that might help you understand what I'm looking for

What music do I listen to?
Quite a lot of different genres. It differs between electronic music (dubstep, house..), hiphop, rap and others. But to narrow it down I'd say electronic and hiphop.

What do I find important when it comes to sound?
Well, I really want quality audio. I'm not looking for headphones that focus solely on bass nor treble but sort of a mix between these. I LOVE a deep bass THOUGH, to go with my love for dubstep drops etc. But I'm not interested in beats by dre.

With what will I use them?
Mainly two things. With my computer for producing/listening to music and with my iPhone on-The-go. I'm also planning on getting an external soundcard LATER on! This means that I want headphones that don't weigh too much. Mobility is a plus!

Budget
Around $250

what type of headphones?
I prefer over-ear

Description of what I want.
I want some sort of hybrid headphones between producer and casual (high quality) listening if that makes any sense. I want to be able to MAKE music with clear and precise sound but still enjoy deep "goosebump" bass.

Many headphones I have tried so far have bass with no punch or great bass but a treble that hurts. I don't want this

Lastly I'm quite sensitive when it comes to fit, there's nothing worse than headphones with a too loose fit!

I realise I sound extremely picky but don't hesitate whatever you think might suit me!

Sincerely
Sebastian.

truenorthI'd probably go to amazon.com or newegg.com and start reading reviews. I can't imagine spending $250 for a headset so I have no idea what's out there at the price level. Heck, after taking a look on those two SITES, I didn't even see any headsets costing that much. Some links to check out:
