Need closed back headphones for metal

Hey guys I would like some closed headphones that will be used for my portable setup to listen to metal, mainly thrash

I was going to get the grado sr80i since I hear they are great for metal music, but the leaking out of music and leaking in of sound detracts from public use.

I would like them to be around the ear, if they go on the ear but still provide decent issolation that's ok too. Tight bass would good as well.
They will go unamped and use my iPhone as a source

They can't look to rediculous or bulky since they will be used portable and public. My budget would be around $150. So what headphones do you guys have in mind?

I would recommend the Audio Technica ATH-ES7. They're very portable, isolate decently, and don't leak sound. They have punchy bass, pretty good treble extension and have good detail. And they can be found for ~$75 (refurbed).

I was thinking about the ES7 they look great and I have heard alot of good things about them or headphones on that price range. That would probably what I end up getting, just want to see some more suggestions before I make my finale choice
