If the Custom One Pro sounds anything like the DT770, vocals won't be too hot on them, even with a bit more midrange. So if you mostly need something to listen to, would you be willing to compromise on a little bass for speed for electronic? A Fostex T50 would be fantastic as a semi-portable. I hate to jump on the bandwagon of T50 recommenders, but they are legitimately pretty dang good. If you mod them the BMF way, you should be able to get some nice bass. Even the mods mine have sound pretty good for electronic, but not as good as the SA5000 strapped to my head. They are pretty durable too; I've stuffed them in a bag with no problems.

Failing that, there's also the K181DJ. Not nearly as good, but they have more vocals than the DT770 while providing almost as much bass and much more portability. I can't really think of anything else that works with both electronic bass and vocals that's also portable.

The AD700 is fantastic for gaming, but for music they'll be very light on bass which you may not like. They're great for what you want them for, though.

I'm pretty sure you can get these shipped to the UK for a reasonable price. Tell me if the shipping turns out to be a lot or something doesn't work out.

Alright, I've decided on the M80s. The M80s are much smaller than the COP, so taking them around with me would be easier, I can also use them for the library and phone calls too so that a bonus.

You have awesome headphone advice. Even though I use beats, I love all the headphones that you posted.

Teh Audio Technica Pro 700 MkII and V-Moda LP2 should be great for those genres as they're both very bassy.

Open back headphones has no isolation. You want closed ones.

V-moda LP, Ultrasone HFI580, and those Philips headphones r00t recommends (Citiscape Downtown?).



Tyll just did a review on the momentum. Looks good
