I was almost impressed until I saw a pair of "Bass-Boosted"(ATH M50) headphones being proclaimed as an allrounder. I borrowed an ATH M50 from a friend and tried it myself, what I concluded is that while it is a good step into the audiophile world, it cannot match my Sennheiser HD558 on any level.The soundstage(due to the open back design), the amount of details picked up and the allround sound signature is far more better in the HD558 than the ATH M50.
But then again it is subject to one's personal taste, a person who likes hip-hop and metal will find a pair of "Bass-Boosted" headphones like Beats by Dre or the ath m50 to be better because these genres require such headphones.
In this price range there is no such thing as an "allrounder" . If one wants to buy a TRUE all allrounder one has to cough up more than 30k on IEM's like the SHURE SE 535 which is has "Triple BA drivers : One for each part of the frequency spectrum" or headphones like the Shure Srh1940 and the Sennheiser HD 650.
Anyways if OP has decided to check out all the headphones select the one he likes, no amount of recommendations saying otherwise will change his mind.GL on your HF Hunt
