Have a look at the Shure SRH440
a little above your budget, but exactly what you are looking for. If you want a cheaper pick, consider the Takstar PRO80 / Gemini HSR1000

The Beats are fine if you’re listening to music that’s already bass-heavy and you don’t mind headphones that color your sound a bit (honestly, most people can’t notice). They’re a bit pricey but they get the job done and in my opinion don’t sound bad at all. I’d stay away from Bose, overpriced and the sound is mediocre at best.
If you are looking for a truer representation of what was recorded I’d look into something like the Shure SRH-440 I’ve had them for awhile and for the money they’re the best headphones I’ve ever used. As someone else said take a look at Sennheiser and Etymotic as well (Etymotic’s in-ear headphones are amazing as well).
Hope I could help and good luck!

I have a video on this very subject called “The Interactive Headphones Blind Test #4 – Music Test #2” that debunks these beliefs. Essentially, “studio headphones” exist solely as a legal loophole for manufacturers like Sennheiser to sell products to professional industries at an upcharge. There are no correlations between a headphone advertised as a “studio headphone” and flat frequency response, low distortion and noise, durable build quality or even passive noise isolation.

They sound good, I personally like the girly aesthetics of the white model I own 🙂

The bass sounds more clear and the sound is a bit more warm in my Shures SRH440 but I like more the look of the M50’s 🙂

Budget: 200-300
Source: Zune first Gen, 80 GB. Note 2
Requirements for Isolation: doubt I’ll get any dancing type earclip type set of cans that are isolated but yes I prefer isolation.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes, but not much.
Preferred Type of Headphone: Full sized, closed
Preferred tonal balance: Balanced
Past headphones: Koss Ksc75, Darth Beyer Dt770s 80 ohms, Shure SRH440 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DP1FTU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), JVC HARX900 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013P3ZOE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Preferred Music: EDM trap right now. Then 90s gangsta rap (2pac, bone thugs, ice cube) LOVE IT. Dubstep, Hard Rock, indie. Mainly bass heavy trap tho. Future bass as well.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up? Sounds very good with some power to the bass, doesn’t look too bad, and stays on my fuckin ears… I dance HARD. It’s gloriously therapeutic, but not when I step on the chord and break my $400 pair of cans that cost me $200 to fix last time.

I did some research and here some of the ones I was looking into:

I like my Shure SRH 440’s with the SRH840 earpads. 🙂 Sub-$150 Excellent.
·
Shure SRH94 isolate very well and will be large improvement over your other headphones. You will not need an amp.
·
Ok… before the rest convince you to spend a ton of money… try these – JVC Marshmallows. I have owned many earphone/headphone, in many a price range, but I can honestly tell you, unless you are really keen on over the ears – this is the biggest bang for your buck you can get. I buy a couple at a time, and never care about breaking or losing them, all the while knowing that I am hearing my music 98% as well as those who’ve spent hundreds.
If you are still keen on over the ears headphones (under $100), I’d recommend these – Shure SRH440.
If those are a little to “closed” for you, then these – Grado SR80i.
Good luck!

Why are you the second person to cite that and cite it incorrectly?
Can no one who watches that listen to what he says? He flat out says the only reason his earbuds were bad is because they didn’t have enough cable length between the point where the wires split and each ear. He directly says that earbuds with slightly longer cables would probably work fine.
Having them go behind your head is absolutely perfect. Runners set it up like that because it gets the cables completely out of the way. Just don’t be stupid to use a pair that is too short for this.
His “wired” headset was a usb headset and his problem is that the cable is really long. First, using a usb headset for gaming is very stupid. Second, you should be using a headset that has a 3.5mm cable jack so you can use any cable of any length.
A quality headset like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DP1FTU
Use a 6in cable and nothing will hang down at all.
I am starting to think this guy has really stupid people watching his videos and he isn’t doing enough to combat that stupidity, simply telling people things isn’t enough. Maybe he should have an on screen graphic?
