I don't know if this topic is good for asking for headphone advice so I apologize if I shouldn't post it there.
After long time of using cheap Sennheiser HD218's I decided to buy some better and more expensive pair of headphones. At first I bought AKG K518DJ, but quickly returned them - bass was extremely boomy and anything I tried on them was just unlistenable (except hardstyle). Then after hearing good things about Beyer DT770's I ordered 600ohm version from online store but they told me they don't have them and proposed several others with discount instead, so I went with T70 as I believed it to be a better version of DT770. When I got these headphones I was disappointed again - sound signature is quite opposite of what I heard on K518, bass is very light and I think there is some unpleasant peak in the treble, so now I'm returning these too.
The headphones I'm considering now:
- AH-D2000
- DT770 600ohm
- ATH-M50
Which of these should sound best with goa and ambient? I'm very used to my HD218's so I'd like to have headphones which similar sound signature.
Looking at these charts:

DT770's should sound like my beloved HD218's with the difference that it's more V-shaped, but everyone seems to be recommending D2000's for trance music. ATH-M50 looks to be most bassy of them all.
Also my source is O2/ODAC combo.
