Second that Denon for Trance.

The JVC Riptidz is another option but they lack a bit of attack and are overpriced here in India.

Get a Sennheiser HD 419/429, other brands in this price range(skullcandy,jbl,jvc) etc are pure crap.

Have heard good things about sennheiser HD 439. But if I buy it locally, I can get it at a price of 4k. I would increase my budget by 1k more if I get good vfm headphones..

In that case I would recommend the 449,they are absolutely vfm.439 are also good
