After much research I have picked the following 3 headphones as my choices, and I need help picking one.

Bose on-ear headphones:
Buy Bose® On-Ear Headphones online at JohnLewis.com

I tried these ^ in john lewis and was blown away by the clarity and bass.

Sennheiser hd595
SENNHEISER HD595 at Richer Sounds - HI-FI Separates, Home Cinema, Speakers, MP3 DVD Portables, Plasma LCD, etc.

Denon AH-D1001
Buy Denon AH-D1001 Headphones online at JohnLewis.com

I want very good bass quality as I tend to listen to DnB, trance, Dubstep, RnB, rap & some rock.

They are all around the same price so I won't take the cost into consideration. If the difference is only slight i'll just go for the best looking pair.

I just need any last minute advice before I go ahead and buy a pair.

Re: My 3 options

I personally like the sound of the bose and they're also quite sleek.. however at that price range i would look at the Grado headphones...

Thanks for the opinion, but I think they are hideous. I think I have narrowed it down to the bose and the Sennheiser now.

Re: My 3 options

hehe no worries..

i think your best way to decide is to listen to the sennheiser headphones as well.. its a shame you can't listen to both at the same shop as that would make a comparison much easier...

I think i'd sway towards the sennheiser's because even though all Bose stuff tends to have a WOW factor but i think they are over priced for the sound quality compared to other manafacturers, but thats just my opinion and i guess some people will disagree..
