Need help deciding which headphones to purchase

Hi there,

I have been looking into purchasing a new set of cans for a while now. I have read a bunch of reviews on different models and just as I think I have found the right one, I find a number of negative reviews round the corner. Found this website and thought you guys could offer me an unbiased opinion to the right headphones for my need.

My budget is £300 (can be stretched for the right headphones) and I am looking for over-ear headphones. The use for them will be split between when mixing indoors and travelling outdoors on the street and on public transport. If I had to choose a primary use though, it will be for indoors.

Like many people, I have an eclectic taste in music ranging from classical to rock n roll. My favourite genre (and genre that I mix) is certainly Drum and Bass however. So my ideal headphones would have great bass. Sound quality is a priority.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

By mixing do you mean DJing or actually producing the music yourself?
