Then i think sennheiser is the best choice! They have a balance bass, not that boomy and colder which you still can feel the clarity and background sound but not as clear as the open back due to they are produce more airy sound stage but still very good mids and highs.

Senn 212 or 205 is quite a good pick but bare in mind 205 has longer and thin cable which is quite annoying. If not, the PX series will do and it's portable. Px 100 has more bass, the brother 200 has reduce it's bass but very satisfying Mids sound.

FYI, the bass that play out from the speaker system, even though it's so call very warm and boomy bass, for most normal 2.1 speaker it's more like a fake bass and too boomy will cover up all the background sound. Normal say it's like reviving bass killing the total sound.

Only muddy/boomy bass will affect the clarity. The A300 is nowhere near muddy. The amount of bass produced will be sufficient and adequate for a particular song. Meaning if rock music for example, you'll be hearing the bassline strings and the drum beats that you're supposed to hear, nothing more and nothing less. Now that's quality bass.

AD300 airy signature might lack the amount of bass necessary for the types of music such as pop, dance, R&B, hip-hop or techno (the typical kind of music that Hitz.fm would play). But if you're willing to try it out anyway then by all means go ahead.

if the sound is refined to 5 frequency...the strong bass will not affect ur clarity, it will push u if u have great pairing.
for ur budget range, will AD500 be a better choices if budget allowed

if AD300 is lack of the amount of bass , then how about M30, for listening to those kind of  music ? or you have a better suggestion  ?

So you want good detail and clarity with not so much bass, and if you still wanna try AT, then i suggest you go with M30 for a safer bet.

" you'll be hearing the bassline strings and the drum beats that you're supposed to hear, nothing more and nothing less " , you mean AD300 has balanced bass ? mean medium , not high , not low ?

for bass , medium and balance bass is sufficient for me ...not low , not high... just medium

Read that post again. I was referring to A300. NOT AD300.

What i was trying to say is, in my opinion and according to my personal taste, A300 has a much balanced sound than the AD300.

Personally, I'm gona go Grado. haha..No 1 here seems to recommend grado that often huh?

Well, I like KSC75's sound sig more than my HD 555 and AD700..So does that mean Grado's the way to go for me?

If you like forward sounding and 'in your face' music....go Grado/Alessandro, after listening to them, any other cans will sound pretty laidback I recommend Ms1 for awesomeness (highly biased opinion )
