I'm looking for a pair of circumaural headphones that provide deep, punchy, quality bass as well as have adequate bass quantity and sound quality. I really have no other requirements so long as it provides head-pounding bass (by having great bass quality and amplified quantity) and sounds good on the mids and highs. I have a FiiO E6 amp and will probably upgrade to an E11 later on, so higher impedance won't be a big problem.

I've heard of and compared:
- DT770 Pro 80 ohm [possibly]
- JVC HAM-R77X [possibly]
- M-Audio Q40 [most likely]
- M-Audio HDH50 [no]
- Ultrasone HFI 580 [no]
- V-Moda Crossfade LP/2 [slightly likely]

With that being said, is there anything any of you can recommend for me? All help is greatly appreciated.

Note: wireless/bluetooth would be a *great* advantage since my headphone jack is broke and I am using my microphone jack (they're the same exact parts, I retasked them in registry) so if there is some that stand out those would appeal to me more.

ath-m50x (or m50 or m50s)
-i personally own the m50s (straight cable version) and for only 38ohm it has some pretty punchy bass. i listen to alot of electronica, especially dubstep where bass is extremely important and they do not disappoint. however bass doesnt overpower everything else like in sony xb and beats by dr dre headphones which is very nice.

dt770pro 250
-a good alternative to the m50x is the dt770. the 32ohm version or 80ohm version are good comparisions however the 250ohm version is described as being quite a bit better sounding than the 32/80 versions so if you have an amp which can handle them it would be worthwhile.
