I would think the Blon Z300 would handle those pretty well.

I have a Z300 in hand again and can’t shake the feeling that it’s a little “off”. I can’t just enjoy it. I’ll update if I can put better words to what it sounds like. Doesn’t sound natural to me like some other similar or even cheaper tunings can.
I varied my mod of the Kiwi Ears Cadenza and based on this morning’s listen, it’s pretty fantastic and would be for those genres.
I haven’t heard the EW200 yet, but the modded Cadenza is in the same realm as the EA500 just but with some more subbass. Which is great considering it comes in cheaper.

I can’t recall but how do you like to listen to your tunes, like are you usually clinical or more of a rock out guy?
What mod did you use on the cadenza. They are my lawn mowing pair of earphones. Hope all is well!

Usually rocking out - I’d take too relaxed over too trebley if I had to compromise. Even sets like the P8 that don’t hurt my ear with treble (no wincing or volume adjusting) give me fatigue over time just from treble amount on the brain.
Planning to update this afternoon when I get some lesson planning breaks!

Grab the Z300 bro or the ew200. Fits the libraries you mentioned and they don’t need mods.
EDIT: In my bias opinion of course

Never used Neutron Player, although, having read up on it, it sounds like a useful tool. Personally, I use USB Audio Player Pro.
Neutron Player is technically the better player in terms of audio. As UAPP does not always let you use the actuall full power from the dongle you have. For example, with a dongle that can output 1vrms in Neutron, I could only get around 0.3vrms in UAPP.

I don’t use dongles. However, UAPP disables the Android system and plays files in the recorded format e.g. 24/192 and as such provides a superior source. I may take a look at Neutron Player as it sounds intriguing.

Currently, I am as happy as a pig in clover, with my OG Olinas-Moondrop Free DSP cable and 24/192 files playing through UAPP. It makes my daily commute infinitely more bearable.

how about Poweramp?
Hey Chris, I’ve got a question for you. If a friend came to you and said they have a similar library to yours and have $12k to buy the best over ear rig (headphones, amp, and DAC) they can to get back into headphones after a decade away, what would your recs be for the gear? I just got asked this question and have some ideas, but wanted to hear your perspective since the friend in question is a fanboy of yours.
