Headphone Advice Please

[Izz.y]

Hi,
So I am a little bit of an Audiophile, I listen to many genres of modern music, and I try to get the best sound stuff I can afford. About 65% of my music is FLAC CD rips, 25% is 320kbps mps, and 20% is 192KBPS MP3/WMA or higher. I can tell the bit-rate of an MP3 just by listening to it. I built my own computer, and I have an ASUS Xonar DS sound card, and I switched to OP AMP to a TI OPA2134. I have a JVC HA-S700 pair of headphones, which have amazing sound despite being $28. The headphones are extremely comfortable, and have memory foam ear cushions, but the cord was very thin, and it frayed after about a year. I tried replacing it, but I haven't soldered in ages, and I messed up the left driver. I can't find any details for the headphones online, but since I opened it, this is the spec sheet for the driver:

I am willing to spend up to $100 on a new pair of headphones. I'm a bit of a basshead, and those JVC's rumble, if I touch them, I can actually feel them shake with the bass (no rattling noises though).

I tried a pair of Senheiser HD 201's a friend had, and they were not very comfortable, and had very little bass, I saw the frequency response curve, and I was not surprised:


I also have a big head, the doctors took me out a month early when my mom was pregnant, because they were scared there would be complications because of the size of my head. It's not freakishly big, but I use most headphones on the biggest setting.

Long story short, I need a pair of $100 or less headphones that are comfortable for my big head, have good sound quality, and have lots of bass.

Oh, and I'd like them to be full size around the ear headphones, no earbuds, or something small.

I was looking at the Senheiser HD 448, and Shure SRH440, Grado SR80 and Sony MDR-7505 but the frequency response chart shows it has a huge dip in the lower frequencies, my $28 JVCs seemed to have more bass in the frequency response charts.

The Beats by Dr Dre are popular for having a solid low end. I tried finding some specs, but you might have more luck than I did.

senheiser hd555 with the popular mod that is easy to do and increases the bass response.. is a very confortable headphone.

I'm thinking about selling my Beyerdynamic dt770 (80 ohm). They only have about 5-10 hours of use and will undoubtedly exceed your needs of deep bass.
I still haven't made up my mind about selling them though.
They are awesome headphones.....but so are my dt880
I got the 770's for doing vocal takes with....and even though they sound way better than my hd280's and are extremely more comfy, the 280's isolate a bit better and also boost the presence of the vocal....so I feel like I sing better with the 280's on my head.
Anyway, if I did sell them, I might let them go for $120.
Still undecided though
